VBScript Check

VBScript Check provides automated, rule-based validation of VBScript code for developers, IT operations staff, and QA engineers working with legacy VBScript assets. It targets common areas of failure in production scripts, such as syntax errors, misused control structures, and patterns that lead to runtime exceptions. By isolating these issues early, teams reduce debugging time, minimize breakages in batch tasks, and improve change confidence when updating automation workflows that rely on VBScript. The tool operates without requiring a full development environment and can be used on individual files or small collections of scripts during reviews or pre-deployment checks.
Core logic combines a lightweight VBScript parser with a configurable rule catalog. It performs lexical and syntactic checks, validates statement usage, and flags anti-patterns commonly seen in legacy code. The rule set is split into required checks and optional-advanced checks, allowing teams to tailor depth and precision. Results are returned as structured items with file context, line numbers, severity, and actionable guidance, enabling straightforward triage and remediation. This approach emphasizes fast feedback and deterministic outcomes suitable for integration into lightweight QA or CI workflows.
Intended users include developers maintaining legacy tools, system administrators validating deployment scripts, and software testers performing quick checks before release. The tool's value comes from its VBScript-specific focus, rapid turnaround, and exportable reports that support audit trails and compliance reviews. Common use cases include validating new script changes, auditing batches of scripts for consistency, and preparing modernization plans by surfacing repeated defect patterns across a codebase.
