Audit time

Why audit source code?

Poorly written code = bugs, security flaws, degraded performance, impossible maintenance. Audit = guaranteed quality.

Detect hidden bugs

Code review detects logic bugs, race conditions, memory leaks, null pointer, unhandled edge cases before production.

Application security

OWASP vulnerability detection: SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, deserialization, path traversal, RCE. Data validation, error handling.

Performance & quality

N+1 query optimization, inefficient algorithms, memory, caching. Standards respect (PSR, PEP8), design patterns, SOLID.

What is source code audit?

Source code audit (code review) is manual code analysis by expert developer to detect bugs, vulnerabilities, bad practices and technical debt. More thorough than automatic analysis (SonarQube, ESLint).

Auditor analyzes architecture (design patterns, coupling, cohesion), security (OWASP, input validation, auth), quality (readability, maintainability, tests), performance (queries, algorithms, caching).

On Hackersdate, find code review experts specialized by language (PHP/Laravel, Python/Django, JavaScript/React, Java/Spring, Go, Rust) to audit your code, identify technical debt and recommend refactoring.

Types of source code audits

🔒 Security audit (SAST)

Vulnerability focus: SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, deserialization, XXE, SSRF, path traversal, RCE. Static + manual analysis. OWASP report.

⚡ Performance audit

Optimization: N+1 queries, O(n²) algorithms, memory leaks, missing caching, unoptimized images, lazy loading, missing DB indexes.

📐 Architecture audit

Design analysis: SOLID, design patterns, loose coupling, strong cohesion, separation of concerns, testability, scalability.

✅ Quality & maintainability audit

Standards (PSR-12, PEP8), readability, documentation, cyclomatic complexity, code duplication, naming, error handling.

🧪 Tests & coverage audit

Unit, integration, e2e test quality. Code coverage, edge cases, mocks, fixtures. CI/CD pipeline. Mutation testing.

📱 Mobile code audit

iOS/Android specific: secure storage, API communication, certificate pinning, obfuscation, root/jailbreak detection, secrets management.

How does code audit work?

1

Repository access & scoping

Git repository access (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket). NDA signed. Scope definition: priority modules, critical files, security/perf/quality focus.

2

Automatic analysis

SAST tool scan (SonarQube, Semgrep, Snyk) for baseline. Known vulnerability detection, code smells, duplication, complexity.

3

Manual code review

Line-by-line reading of critical files. Architecture, business logic, error handling, validations, authentication, permissions analysis.

4

Tests & validation

Existing test verification, suspect bug reproduction, edge case testing, input fuzzing, injection/XSS attack simulation.

5

Report & recommendations

Detailed report: overall score (/10), vulnerabilities (CVSS criticality), bugs, technical debt, recommended refactoring, quick wins, improvement roadmap.

Source code audit questions

Between €2000 and €10000 depending on project size. Small project (<10k lines):€2000-4000. Medium project (10-50k lines):€4000-8000. Large project (>50k lines):€8000-20000. Daily rate:€600-1000.

Automatic (SonarQube):fast,detects known patterns,many false positives,no business context.Manual:slow,finds logic bugs,complex vulnerabilities,understands context.Both complementary.

No,audit=problem identification.Refactoring=separate service(code rewriting).Some experts offer audit+refactoring package.Refactoring budget:2-5x audit budget depending on debt extent.

Yes,read-only repository access.Experts sign strict NDA.Alternative:ZIP code export but loses Git context(history,branches,PR).Repo access recommended for complete analysis.

No,audit parallel to development.Auditor works on dedicated branch or frozen commit.Report delivery doesn't impact roadmap.Corrections applicable progressively by priorities.

80% recommended for critical code(payments,auth,sensitive data).60-70% acceptable for standard features.40% absolute minimum.But coverage quantity≠quality:better 60% relevant tests than 90% empty tests.
