Sunday, March 1st, 2009

Is all I think about

Code Audit & Review

Sunday, July 22nd, 2007

An independent code audit and review can help ensure your project is on track by providing an independent and expert view of development progress.

If your code is complete, an audit can ensure that your product is rock-solid and production ready.

Factors to consider:

  • Application Security
  • Scalability & Performance
  • Code Conventions
  • Code Quality
  • Test Coverage
  • Data Privacy
  • User Interaction
  • Information Architecture
