Why is this an issue?

Shared naming conventions allow teams to collaborate efficiently.

This rule raises an issue when a class name does not match a provided regular expression.

The default configuration is the one recommended by Microsoft:

• Pascal casing, starting with an upper case character, e.g., BackColor
• Short abbreviations of 2 letters can be capitalized, e.g., GetID
• Longer abbreviations need to be lowercased, e.g., GetHtml

For example, with the default regular expression ^([A-Z]{1,3}[a-z0-9]+)*([A-Z]{2})?$, the class:

Class foo ' Noncompliant
End Class

should be renamed to

Class Foo
End Class
