A Detailed Analysis
Your Code Audit is a comprehensive report that includes an overview of our audit process, a summary of our observations, a detailed breakdown of any issues we identified, and a prioritized collection of our recommendations. We’ll walk you through our report and explain each issue's impact on your application.
Alignment with Industry best Practices
We’ll assess how well your app aligns with industry best practices, helping you optimize your code for long-term maintainability. The audit covers key areas like the state of your documentation, the ease of onboarding new engineers, how dependencies are managed, and whether your application adheres to the Rails community’s conventions. These insights can illuminate where your app shines and where there’s room to improve.
Risk Mitigation
Our code audit also focuses on risk mitigation, revealing security vulnerabilities and ensuring that personal user data is properly managed. We’ll explore whether sensitive data is exposed in your codebase’s history and if former engineers still have access to private services. Addressing these risks can safeguard your app and protect your users' trust.
Rails Architecture
We’ll assess the performance of your application and data model, ensuring the Model-View-Controller framework is well-implemented and organized. Additionally, we’ll evaluate the strength of your information architecture to ensure your app is built on a solid, scalable foundation, setting your app up for easier maintenance, scalability, and a smoother user experience.
Is it Time for a Re-Write?
Ultimately, you want to know if your current investment will get you from here to there. Our mission is to help organizations avoid the big rewrite. We don't believe a rewrite is the right decision 96.7% of the time. We'll help you understand the tradeoffs.
