CODE REVIEW SERVICES: MAKE YOUR CODE WORK

Low-quality code can easily break the application. To avoid memory
leaks, failure to add new features, and poor performance, check your
app’s code with source code review services provided by
Minimal Dot.

WHAT IS CODE REVIEW?

The code review service is a complex practice of spotting any mistakes in the programming code while checking it line-by-line. Third-party developers implement reviews to find any code flaws and check the software architecture, so the code can be improved. The aim is to optimize the end-quality of the app’s source code so the product will be maintainable, reliable, and scalable.

It is a common practice to hire developers to review the code outside the circle of devs who initially wrote it. It guarantees the impartiality of the dev team and a high-quality result. Code review as a service significantly accelerates software product development.

WHY CODE REVIEW IS IMPORTANT?

The source code is a foundation for the software application which
will be built on top of it. If the code quality is poor, the app will have
memory leaks, bad architecture, failure to add new features, and a
long launch process. So, the months of developing and planning would be wasted.

Secure source code review helps to find out hidden defects in the app’s code. The main goal of code review is to detect any bugs at the early stage of the development process and deploy a clear and high-quality code to production.

CASES WHEN YOU DEFINITELY NEED SOURCE CODE REVIEW

Without a clear code, it is impossible to build a reliable product. Source code review is the necessary solution for a few major reasons:

Check the quality of the web developer work, if:

• writing code takes longer than planned;
• there are no adequate comments in the code;
• absence of consistent software documentation;
• there are doubts about security assurance.

In the case of changing devs on the project:

• easy continuation of code writing by the new devs;
• smoothes different approaches of dev team;
• establishes standard coding style on the project;
• saves time on code optimization for new devs.

CODE REVIEW CHECKLIST

Architecture Principles

There is information about the solution architecture, like what
modules were included and what architecture patterns were
used. The dev team checks if the code follows the precise
architecture and whether the solution code is clean.

Code Maintenance

If the configuration is high-coded, the code relies on the old
version, and it is strongly connected to another system that
means that code won’t be able to maintain and change in the
future.

Scalability

Regardless of the new requirements and their complexity, the
code has to adapt to changes easily. The scalable code works
efficiently under periods of very high usage and unexpected
load. Moreover, app scalability is tightly connected to the
SOLID principle and how the codebase follows it.

Code Quality Review

Includes the categorization of all code issues. The detailed description consists of recommendations about which issues are urgent to fix and whether the code should be simplified and optimized.

Security

Sometimes code is written without thinking of security measures. Such code may introduce certain vulnerable cracks in the system. During the code review, the dev thinks of how to make the full use of the code to prevent stealing data and getting unwanted access to the system.

UI Review

It’s crucial to know how UI is used from the code review perspective. Every platform has its own style guidelines, so dev implements solutions on how to follow these styles. In other cases, it can lead to a problem with publishing apps to a specific store.

Tests Review

Analyzing unit tests, code coverage, and tests’ overall quality. Tests should be readable, maintainable, and adhere to established patterns. So, it’s crucial to check the failure conditions and the speed of execution.

BENEFITS OF THE SOURCE CODE REVIEW

Secure code review services enable to deliver defect-free and well-documented software. The other advantages include:

Saves time and money

At the stage of QA testing, fixing bugs will take twice as long since the app is fully developed. So, the earlier a bug is founded the cheaper and faster it will be to fix it.

Ensuring strong performance

Code review service is all about reaching the high tech quality which guarantees the optimized exchange between frontend and backend, scalability and app security.

Compliance to coding standards

The review establishes a specific and unified coding style. Following coding standards help to produce more structured documentations which are easy to follow.

Knowledge sharing

The devs within the team learn from each other and get a better insight of the programming code. This is extremely important if new developers joined a project.

Fast inclusion of the new developers

For new devs on the project, it is essential to know all code nuances. Often devs spend loads of time learning about the code rather than writing it. Code review service helps to reduce the time for the inclusion of new developers.

Easy adding new features to the app

When the source code problems are fixed, adding new features to the app will be easy. So, the product will be able to expand its functionality and adjust to the latest market trends.
