PS – for those that ARE using Visual Studio 2015 – be sure to register your version of Dotfuscator to receive a complimentary application risk management white paper AND one complimentary customer service call with our dedicated support team (online, chat, or via phone). You’re awesome and you’re making it so much easier to prioritize our features in step with your actual usage requirements and preferences. When do your users use your software? How does their behavior change in each scenario – and what does that tell you about their maturity? Their commitment to your software?Īs always – let me end with a big “THANK YOU” to our users who are still opting in to analytics at a 91% rate. In addition to a shift in the kind of user, the second chart shows that the total number of sessions is increasing as well – reflecting both the growing population of Dotfuscator CE users and increased Dotfuscator CE usage PER USER. However, over the past 55 days, the percentage of returning users has grown from 0% to roughly 35% - reflecting a shift from initial IDE “smoke testing” to more frequent use that is more indicative of actual build and deploy activity. When this latest release of Visual Studio 2015 first shipped (July 22), all users were first time users and the total number of sessions was relatively low as only the fastest movers were in a position to “unit test” their new Dotfuscator Community Edition instance embedded inside. When we look at the first 55 days of Visual Studio 2015 Dotfuscator Community Edition (CE) usage, we can see this pattern clearly (thanks to PreEmptive Analytics). When “unit testing” an upgraded IDE, Dotfuscator is typically run just once (assuming it's successful) and then goes quiet until actual applications are reaching the stage in their development process where obfuscation and injection are required (which, as I've mentioned, is "later.") When run as a step in a build and deployment process, Dotfuscator is run continuously in step with their development and build cadence. How can you tell the difference? Do we care?ĭistinguishing between the two is relatively easy - usage patterns are quite different.

However, there's (at least) one exception to this rule development organizations will exercise their entire build and deployment infrastructure – which includes Dotfuscator – as part of any upgrade to their underlying IDE or DevOps platform.

Obfuscation and application analytics injection (the two principle functions of Dotfuscator) are typically done towards the end of a development cycle for obvious reasons you can’t obfuscate or inject instrumentation unless you have a compiled application to work on. And so does Dotfuscator and Analytics 2015 CE
