copied!<p>ReSharper does not track itself in any way that would provide useful statistics. Also, I'm pretty sure no college/company/consultants have any sort of meaningful hard data. This is just too complex. I suppose you could measure the time savings from (<strong>A</strong>.) code insertion, (<strong>B</strong>.) refactoring quickly, and (<strong>C</strong>.) getting it right the first time because ReSharper didn't make the mistakes a human would. Just these savings pays for ReSharper soon enough. For a $300 license, all ReSharper has to do it save you 5-6 hours per developer. That's <em>hours</em>.</p> <p>But the real benefits of ReSharper are impossible to measure:</p> <ul> <li>Since good structure is now as easy to make as bad structure, you do it right!</li> <li>Your designs are better, because you spend you time thinking about design rather than coding cruft.</li> <li>Whatever your level, you <em>learn</em> from ReSharper . The refactorings available are those demanded by top-level developers. By using them you learn these good practices.</li> <li>Mistakes are more forgiving. If you structure your code poorly, it's easy to fix. I find myself more daring and willing to try new things, because there is less risk. This has resulted in some great code.</li> </ul> <p>I'm afraid your powers-that-be will need to trust you, or trust the testimonials on the web-site, or trust a consultant, or experience ReSharper for themselves. If your managers are not themselves quality developers, you're going to have an uphill battle. I wish you luck.</p> <p>I bought ReSharper with my own money a few months ago, because I knew the best developers used it (or coderush). And <em>best</em> means they create <strong>more maintainable</strong> solutions for <strong>less time/money</strong>. It has surpassed my expectations. Getting code out there quicker and being able to refactor quicker is what I expected. All well and good. What I did not expect was how this would increase the time I had to make the right development decisions and do the right things <em>at the most efficient time</em>. Before there was just not enough time to do things right; now there is.</p> <p>So it's impossible to tell management whether ReSharper pays for itself 20 times over, or 100, or 500, but I think 20 should be enough.</p>
