Hi pinal,
I am wondering what kind of tests this tool peforms. Who will benefit from it? Is it the DBA? or a developer?
Is it similar to FXCOP or Code analyzer which will test the TSQL code or Index, or other DB definition and will report the health of the system?
I did a scan and what i could see is a dozen errors which says that I need to set autogrowth to be a lower value. I could not find any useful information after the scan.
Am I missing something?
