Code reviews

Need to know how well your application has been developed? Need a third-party analysis for quality assurance? Want to know how to improve it?

Simply Excited will have a look at your application and produce a detailed report which covered the following principles:

  • Architecture. It is important your application to be built for stability, reliability, and consistency. Are best practices being used in your app? Are you solving domain problems in the best way?
  • Speed. Efficient code will keep your application loading quickly, running smoothly, and your users happy. Will your application continue to keep up over time?
  • Scalability. How many users can your application take, do you have a growth strategy?
  • Testing. Automated testing helps prevent bugs and ensure that your application is stable. How good are your tests?
  • Maintenance. Is the application written for easy maintenance and the long-term? Identifying and fixing problems now can save time, money, and pain later on.

Supported languages for code reviews are Ruby, PHP, Java and Python. A front end code review which includes a report on Javascript, HTML and CSS usage is also included.

Key points in legacy system development:

  • Maintain your search engine indexes. Just because your site changes, it does not mean you should be dropped from google.
  • Keep your content. Do you have a large old database? It is possible to migrate your data to a fresh database or even work with your existing setup.

  • Invest for the future. You need a system which you can rely on for the long term. Simply Excited prides it's systems on being automated, upgradeable and designed to run for a long period of time.
