Code Audit and Documentation

A code audit and documentation review records what an application does, what condition it is in and what it depends on. Findings are ranked by business impact, with notes for the next developer.

Findings written for the owner

The report explains what each finding means for the business and does not reproduce tool output. One finding may put data at risk. Another may add a week to every price change. A third can wait a year.

What the review covers

Code and structure

How the application is organised, how much is duplicated, and how hard a typical change would be for a developer seeing it for the first time.

Security exposure

Input handling, authentication, file uploads, stored credentials and any admin interface reachable from the open internet.

Dependencies and runtime

Which libraries are outdated or abandoned, whether the language version is still supported, and what an upgrade path involves.

Hosting, data and backups

Server setup, database health and backup routines. The review also checks whether a restore has ever been attempted.

Documentation delivered with the audit

The audit also produces the notes that the next developer needs.

  • What each module does, in plain words
  • How to set the project up on a new machine
  • Which servers run what, and where keys are kept
  • The deployment steps, written as a checklist
FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How is a code audit different from a general technology review?

A general technology review looks at the software a business runs and where it slows the team. A code audit goes inside one application: its code, dependencies, security and hosting, in more depth.

Do we have to hire you for the fixes afterwards?

No. The report and documentation belong to you, and can be handed to your own developer or used when comparing quotes.

Does the audit need production access?

Usually not for the code review. Read access to the code and a copy of the database are normally enough, and live server access is needed only for the hosting and backup part.

Is an audit useful before buying a company?

Yes. It shows whether the software is an asset or a liability, which matters when a business is being valued.
