A process to rethink, a system to evolve?
Tell us about your situation. A first conversation, with no commitment, is often enough to see things more clearly.
Code audit
Code and software architecture audit
An outside look at the structure of your code: what holds, what slows you down, and where to start. For software companies and development teams.
When
When an audit helps
The code grew fast
Every change takes longer than the one before, and some parts of the code scare everyone.
A rewrite is coming
Before rewriting or migrating, know what deserves to be kept and what really has to change.
A takeover or an acquisition
You are taking over an application, a team or a company, and you want to know what state the code is in.
The team is growing
New developers are joining: you need a structure and conventions everyone can follow.
Scope
What we look at
We audit TypeScript and JavaScript, PHP and Go.
Structure and boundaries
Modules, layers, responsibilities: what depends on what, and where the boundaries blur.
Dependencies
Libraries and external services: versions, risks, and what ties the code more than it should.
Tests and reliability
What the tests really cover, and what can be changed without fear.
Readability and conventions
Naming, consistency, duplication: what a new developer understands, or not.
Data and integrations
The data model, the APIs and the exchanges with other systems.
Build and delivery
How the code is built, checked and put into production.
How it goes
An audit in four steps
The length depends on the size of the code: we agree on it after the first conversation, with a quote.
Scope
A first conversation, free of charge: the scope, your questions, the access. You get a fixed quote.
Read
We read the code and its documentation, module by module, and note what we find.
Talk
We talk with your developers: the code does not say why the choices were made.
Report
We write the report and hand it to you, with its priorities.
The report
What you receive
A document your developers can follow and your management can read. Every finding is explained, located in the code and comes with what we propose.
- A one-page summary your management can read
- A map of the architecture as it is today
- The findings, ranked by severity, with examples from your code
- The risks: what can break, what slows the team down
- Concrete recommendations, in order of priority
- A roadmap: quick wins first, deeper work after
What next
After the report, you choose
The report stands on its own: you can apply it without us. If you wish, we stay at your side, for whatever you need.
Presentation to the team
We present the findings and the priorities to your developers and your management, and answer the questions.
Help applying it
Code reviews and architecture decisions as the refactoring goes, alongside your developers.
Follow-up audit
A few months later, a second, shorter look to measure how far you have come.
