Improve your Overall Software Development Process

9thCO can help you catch bugs and performance issues before they hit production.

1
Code Quality
Allow 9thCO's experienced developers to review code for quality, readability, and adherence to coding standards. This helps maintain higher overall code quality.
2
Bug Detection
Code reviews can uncover bugs, logic errors, and potential issues early in the development process, reducing the cost and effort required to fix them later in production.
3
Speed
9thCO is obsessed with performance. We can assess and provide you with options to make your codebase and user interfaces more performant.
4
Risk Mitigation
By having multiple sets of eyes on the code, PR reviews reduce the risk of introducing critical issues or vulnerabilities into the codebase, enhancing the software's overall stability and security.
5
Extensibility
Over time, the feedback and insights gained from PR reviews can lead to process improvements, coding guideline updates, and the adoption of better practices within the team.
6
Compliance
For organizations with regulatory requirements, PR reviews can ensure that code changes meet compliance standards and that necessary documentation and approvals are in place.

9thCO’s Code Review Process

Discovery
Starting with an onboarding meeting: followed by a walkthrough of your app, your most critical needs, and compiling thorough project documentation.

Integration
You provide us access to your repo(s) as well as task/ticketing system. We set up a Slack channel for quick communication.

Standardization
We work with your team to establish mutually agreed documentation standards for all PR requests. For example:

Merge request linking to task/ticket.
Create or update the changelog to reflect changes.
Update documentation to reflect changes

Ongoing Review
As your team submits pull requests, our senior developers will be ssigned to perform the code change reviews. When necessary, we will manually test code changes.

Common Questions

: Absolutely you can. But there are advantages to including an expert third-party in the review process:
It requirs extensive time for recruitment, evaluation, hiring, and training for a new team member, especially for an senior role capable of performing PR reviews.
We can provide immediate enhancements in performance and quality from your existing team.
Depending on your project volume, you may require flexibility in review resource requirements, with the ability to scale up or down as needed.
Ultimately, development and product teams should not be responsible for all testing activities, and having an arms-length expert perform review yields a more performant, higher quality product.
: During Discovery phase, we get a solid understanding of the scope of your web application, as well as the volume and cadence of pull/merge requests. This allows our team to estimate the time needed for proper PR reviews and quote a monthly retainer to act as an extension of your team.
: During Discovery we will negotiate and agree upon a standard SLA. Typically these range from 1-2 business days, but can be much quicker for urgent or small updates.
