SciTools' Recommended Checks
This collection of standards identifies the violations we feel are the greatest hindrance to code safety, readability, best practice and maintainability.
The majority of these checks appear in one form or another in published best practices and generally accepted coding standards.

You can use these checks to get an idea of how cluttered or brilliant the code base is. You might use them as a basis for developing your own standards. Or you can ignore this collection completely and test your code against a published coding standard or select your own checks from the "All Checks" library.

If you can't find the checks you want here, we would be happy to help you develop checks to match your standards. Just send us an email at support@scitools.com.
