CODEBASE & CONTRIBUTION AUDIT OR AUDITING CODEBASE

What Is Codebase & Contribution Audit?

BTH can help your organization get code or codebase clarity on legacy applications, define a clear roadmap for your current applications regarding code quality and technical debt, and identify issues areas of refactoring codebase opportunities.  Our Audit issues solution provides unparalleled insight into your code or codebase and development teams so you can make better choices and implement the right solution for codebase, faster.

3 Biggest Code Audit Questions

BTH Codebase Audit or Audits contribute

Many enterprise-level software applications have grown very large for 5, 10, or 20-plus years.  It is common that some of the legacy code or codebase is not always followed current best practices and organizations find themselves building new code or codebase on top of old issues or outdated code.  The “unknowns” of software and understanding engineering teams present technology leaders with a large array of challenges.  Our software audits can help with the following issues situations:

  • Rapid Growth
  • Technical Due Diligence
  • Digital Transformation

BTH has partnered with an industry-leading code or codebase quality and contribution audit or auditing platform to quickly and thoroughly analyze complex code or codebase repositories to provide comprehensive reports on not only code or codebase quality and team contributions, but also dependency and architectural deep-dives so that you can quickly plan and auditing and optimize your software engineering efforts.

What does a software analyst do?

Software analysts act as the link between software developers and users. They review the software specifications document which entails functions of the software and its appearance and user interface methods. The specifications document is usually created by the business analyst who interacts with the software users. The software analyst then conducts functionality and quality tests on the software in use. Afterward, the analyst creates a final document indicating changes that need to be made to make the software meet its set goals and be 100 percent user-friendly. If you need a software analyst for your business, consider getting them from a credible company such as BTH.

How We Run The Code Audit or code audit case

The BTH senior engineering team will work with your development team to connect to code repositories that you allow us to access and from there, the audit or auditing will run and analyze all pre-compiled code and documentation. Once the audit has been completed, a comprehensive software audit or auditing report is created that will give you architectural and code-level insights, code quality metrics, testing coverage,  and areas of technical debt.

Code Audit

Code and how it is constructed and acts with other code is the lifeblood of any functional application. With respect to the many coders that may have been involved in the development of your applications, there is an opportunity to score and validate past code, create metrics and best practices, and hold all future code contributions to a high standard. With several tools on the market to analyze static code and search repositories for erroneous syntax or non-performant areas, this can become a complex problem to solve. Where do you start? Do you analyze code in-line in your development IDE, do you perform linting during code reviews, or do you let pull requests go and hope for the best? If you have the tools on hand to manage your codebase and hold your developers accountable, then it should be baked into your development process so no code that is not compliant ever sees the light of day. 

BTH works with our customers to help ease that pain by providing an industry-leading code contribution and quality analyzer that looks through all raw code in a repository allowing you to create reports identifying and signaling areas of opportunity, threat, and technical debt. These reports are comprehensive and are generated through ai and pattern-based scoring based on historical data and best practices. 

How do you conduct a code audit?

With a non-invasive configuration, our analyzer attaches to your repository via a user that you allow. All code across all repositories is then digested and passed through our engine in a matter of hours. Depending on the size of your codebase the reporting usually takes around 1 to 2 weeks.

What is a code audit review or software code audit?

Our systems look at the health and construction of a codebase for an application or set of applications and services. The audit spiders through a code repository and determines many points of interest. The audit looks for clarity of the code, elegance and convention based on industry or company standards, and the contributors that have worked in the codebase. We also look at the performance and construction of the relationships in the code so that we can determine if those relationships can be strengthened, decoupled, and whether or not they contribute to technical debt. 

The review will then rank all of the above in a very comprehensive and executive friends report that can showcase:

 

  • architectural and code-level insights
  • developer impact and expertise,
  • changes in team behavior
  • inventory of development best practices

Step 1: Connect To The Client’s Code

  • Code – full commitment history, language breakdown, code quality, and costs of identified technical debt
  • Process – Consistency and cadence of code commits, patterns of development and contributions
  • Team – Ranking of code efficacy by all contributors


Once granted read-only access to your code repositories, data fetched is pre-scrubbed to determine and select the specific areas of focus. We then perform a review with the client to review and finalize the plan rollout. Depending on the size of your repositories, our audit can be completed in 2-3 hours.

We can read code from all repositories, but we work faster on modern repositories such as Git, Bitbucket, and Teams Version Control.

Step 2: Compare To Industry Benchmarks

  • Code – full commitment history, language breakdown, code quality, and costs of identified technical debt
  • Process – Consistency and cadence of code commits, patterns of development and contributions
  • Team – Ranking of code efficacy by all contributors



Once granted read-only access to your code repositories, data fetched is pre-scrubbed to determine and select the specific areas of focus. We then perform a review with the client to review and finalize the plan rollout. Depending on the size of your repositories, our audit can be completed in 2-3 hours.

We can read code from all repositories, but we work faster on modern repositories such as Git, Bitbucket, and Teams Version Control.

Step 3: Deliver Client Audit Results

  • Code – full commitment history, language breakdown, code quality, and costs of identified technical debt
  • Process – Consistency and cadence of code commits, patterns of development and contributions
  • Team – Ranking of code efficacy by all contributors
