Software Audit
By its very nature, technology can be a complex and intricate realm to navigate. Whether you’re dealing with a legacy application, integrating software from an acquisition, or simply ensuring a checkpoint in an ongoing project, having a high degree of confidence in your software is paramount. This is where a software audit can provide you with the assurance you need, while also helping you optimise and maximise the potential of your software.
At Codeminers, our goal is to assist you in verifying the quality of your software. We meticulously examine every aspect, ensuring that your software is not only robust and functional but also free from bugs and vulnerabilities. Our comprehensive software audit process encompasses various crucial elements, including performance evaluation and compliance adherence.

Expert Insight
“A thorough software audit is crucial for identifying and resolving potential issues in your system.

SOFTWARE AUDIT REPORT
Once the software audit is complete, we present you with a detailed software audit report. What you get from one of our technical audits is a high level report detailing the work done, problems faced and any compromises made (code access, build, data etc). The software audit report serves as a valuable resource, offering high-level recommendations and an action plan designed to address any identified issues. To make it easier to prioritise and understand the urgency of each recommendation, we use a simple traffic light system. Critical items are marked in red, important aspects in amber, and general feedback and “nice to haves” in green.
