Project and System Auditing

A code/project audit is review of the design and code written for a given software project. Any company building "home-grown" software should have their code reviewed, financial and health orginizations especially due to regulations. If there is not sufficient resources or experience available Edoceo can perform this service and provide a report of the findings

Code auditing primarily ensures that in-house applications are written to specifications. By reviewing design specifications, or business manager level input, the code is reviewed for accuracy. Business owners and managers who cannot read code themselves have no guarntee the code operate as expected. The only way to know is an independent audit that gives necessary proof.

Additionally the audit will ensure consistent standards and styles of code. Standards and good style are important for the maintainability and readability of the code. If an exisiting standard and style policy are in place the audit will ensure that code follows these specifications. If no current policy exists our auditing process will further evaluate the code to determine the inherent style and provide documentation to that effect. This documentation can the be used as a development standards and styles policy.

One final point of audit, usually not an issue in smaller orginizations is the scalablity of the project. The audit will provide findings to determine how well the code will perform under load, the measure of scalability. If a project is expected to sustain heavy load an audit is necessary to mitigate issues related slowdown or lack of computing resources.
