    Legacy applications already on VFP are a good candidate. If you plan to move to iOS and Android apps, VFP is not for you. Also, in future access to VFP programmers may be limited. You could use VFP as a powerful database tool. I know of many programmers who love to exploit the features of VFP to create easy to use applications.

    • SonarLint highlights all the issues in our codes and also displays the severity of each issue.
    • SonarLint also provides suggestions for how to fix those code issues which are highlighted.
    • SonarLint starts the processing of the file as soon as it is opened and highlights all the issues which it found.
    • When we fix the issue, we don't even need to create a new build or generate fresh code quality report, as soon as we save the file with the changes, it does the processing again and shows the result if the issue is fixed or not.
    • SonarLint saves a lot of time and effort by saving us from doing fresh build every time and generating new code quality report every time, thus increasing the efficiency and output which is in return beneficial for the client.

    Cons
    Discontinued Products
    • Microsoft stopped selling this and stopped supporting it in 2014. It still works on Windows 10, but if you have a problem, you are on your own.
    • The look and feel of screens and displayed text is getting a little dated.
    • It's really designed for desktop/server environments rather than the cloud.

    • Sometimes, SonarLint does not highlight the issues in the code correctly.
    • The severity of the issues highlighted is according to the default rules set, we should also be given authority to set the severity of the issues.
    • The default fixes which SonarLint provides should be more enhanced and there should be more fixes available.
    • Sometimes it takes a lot of time for processing of the file when any new file is loaded or changes are saved in a file.

    Although MS has discontinued support of VFP there is a good community of programmers that are available for help. In fact we have several programmers at Apptread that are skilled not only in VFP but also .NET so that if there is a need to migrate some parts of applications to .NET , it is easy for us to do that.

    We are only using FoxPro because it is the only way to add custom plugins into the software we use to manage our stock. FoxPro is a semi-oriented object language and should clearly not be compared with recent technologies.

    Return on Investment
    Discontinued Products
    • Positive impact is that the value of FoxPro applications has continued to increase over the years, so we are in high demand for our services.
    • Negative impact is that sometimes you have difficult to support scenarios where you might have to spend many hours to just keep something functional.
    • A negative impact is that this language is taught in very few places, either in schools, or private learning centers.

    • SonarLint helps in achieving all the business requirements in a more efficient way.
    • It reduces the manual and redundant work which we would have to do else every time if we did not use SonarLint.
    • SonarLint helps in maintaining code quality, and thus also highlights the loopholes for the cyber attacks and phishing attacks.
    • SonarLint makes work easy and helps the developer to invest less time in manual work thereby increasing their capacity to deliver the maximum output to the client.
