Code review: a new look at existing code

From mission-critical solutions and corporate websites, to serious games and mobile applications, the digital world runs on code. The quality of code is important to business operations, but often under-researched in decision-making. If there is something wrong with the code, you want to find out before your users are inconvenienced.

With a code review, we do a quality check on the code, also called a source code audit. We summarize the findings in a complete and accessible advisory report - valuable for programmers and decision makers alike. With this, we offer insight into, among other things:

  • Scalability: can the code be changed and extended sustainably?
  • Maintainability: can bugs be easily detected and fixed?
  • Future-proofing: can the code keep up with new developments?

On this page you can read how we proceed during a code review. Feel free to contact us for custom advice without any obligations.

Code review: a new look at existing code

We create a code review plan

We kick off with a brief intake. We would like to hear more about the current situation, how the solution came about, and any areas of concern or attention within the current solution.

We arrive at a plan of action tailored to your situation, in line with the needs and goals for the audit.

We conduct code review

Several experts get to work reviewing the code. We perform a full audit on the code. Among other things, we look at the choices made, the documentation present and the techniques and dependencies used within the code. This way we get a clear and complete picture of the developed code.

We provide independent advice

We set out our findings in an independent advisory report, in which we clearly indicate the risks and opportunities for improvement. Naturally we explain the advisory report in detail during an advisory meeting so that we can answer any questions you may have.

Here's what to expect

Clear understanding of code and technology

How good is the code really? Is the code set up so that other parties can work with it, or will they get stuck? Is the data that is collected securely stored? After the code review, you know exactly how the solution works. We clearly explain every building block, technique, tool and dependency. We compare the code of the solution with the quality requirements and industry standards. This enables us to give independent advice and put our findings into perspective, providing substantiated advice for making improvements. We distinguish between what is really needed and what opportunities there are to take the solution to the next level. In a management summary we clearly set out our most important advice.

Supplemental
An estimate for improvements

We make an indicative budget to implement the improvements, based on an open calculation. This allows us to set clear priorities together, and we are happy to explain the expected results of the improvements.

Do you work with your own developers, or another development party? We are happy to provide additional support or guidance - if required.

Is your solution ready for data-driven development?

With a "data-driven" approach, we cleverly put facts and figures at the basis of decision-making, ensuring that resources are used where they are most valuable. In doing so, we avoid assumptions and carefully manage available budgets.

What insights are already being captured, and where are insights still being missed? In this additional report, we explain what is needed to prepare your solution for data-driven development.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to conduct the code review?

Typically, a code review takes one to two weeks. Depending on - among other things - the scope of the review and the complexity of the solution, more time may be needed to come to a well-founded insight and advice. During a no-obligation consultation we are happy to discuss the solution and give a first indication of the lead time.

What is the difference between a code review and a code audit?

During a code review and code audit, the same thing is done: the source code is tested against various quality requirements and industry standards. It's the same service, but with a different name.

Is a code review appropriate for all digital solutions?

Yes. The entire digital world is built on code, whether games, websites, apps and other digital solutions. So a code review is recommended for any type of digital solution.

What is the cost of a source code review?

The costs depend on - among other things - the scope of the code review, the complexity and size of the solution, and the number of platforms on which the solution is running. During a no-obligation consultation, we are happy to discuss the solution, after which we provide a targeted quote for performing the code review.
