5 signs your project needs a professional code review

Security incidents

If your application has experienced security breaches or penetration tests revealed critical vulnerabilities, it is time for a thorough security code review. Unvalidated inputs, encryption failures, and code injection flaws often hide deep in the codebase and require expert analysis aligned with OWASP guidelines.

Bug cascade

High component coupling and insufficient test coverage lead to a domino effect where changes in one part of the system unpredictably break others. This is a classic sign of accumulated technical debt that requires systematic analysis and incremental refactoring strategies.

Performance deterioration

Is your application slowing down while the load remains stable? The cause often lies in suboptimal database queries, memory leaks, or redundant computations. Code smell screening and architecture review help identify such bottlenecks before they impact user experience.

Mounting style issues

When linting violations and formatting inconsistencies accumulate across the codebase, maintainability suffers. Independent code review helps enforce unified coding standards, improve readability, and ensure compliance with industry best practices.

You are preparing for scaling

Before significant load growth or due diligence, it is essential to ensure that the architecture can handle scaling and the code contains no critical vulnerabilities. External expertise provides an objective assessment of your product’s quality, security, and maintainability.

Silent coding errors are the most expensive

In my experience, the most expensive code errors are not the ones that openly manifest in production, but the ones that silently limit the business’s growth. Timely code review helps identify such bottlenecks before they escalate into real problems, accelerates development, and significantly reduces costs in the long run.

Our code review projects

Test coverage review for BI solution

We conducted a test coverage review for a BI solution that automates manual tasks and aligns IT deliverables with business goals. SoftTeco checked the platform for sufficiency of unit and integration tests, examined its three-level basis architecture, and issued recommendations. Tests covered 80% of the Angular code for the common components, while at least 60% of the remaining code was validated.

Source code security analysis for accounting platform

An accounting automation software required code security analysis as it processed large volumes of confidential data and needed to be highly resistant to cyberattacks. Our developers conducted manual and automated code reviews. We used SSLScan, Acunetix, and SQLmap to detect vulnerabilities and assess configurations. During the review, the team followed PTES, OWASP, and NIST 800-115 methodologies and provided a comprehensive report with suggested improvements.

Code review for car diagnostic platform

A web platform for Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles faced performance and usability limitations and required a comprehensive code review. The SoftTeco team conducted an architecture, security, functional, and performance review and identified a list of inefficiencies. The final report included insufficient authentication and authorization mechanisms as well as suboptimal software design. SoftTeco continued to work with the client and modernized the platform, making it more scalable and secure.
