Code Review

Did you know that most problems with software can be solved by doing simple code reviews?

Even so, an alarming number of software teams either have ineffective code reviews or have eliminated them altogether. Effective code reviews demand the highest skill levels but surprisingly take very little time for an experienced engineer to perform. For some types of code even senior-level reviewers can miss things that only a lead developer with software architecture experience can catch in a review.

Unfortunately, it does not make much sense financially for every project to employ an engineer at this level.

What does all of this mean for your software project?

There is a silver lining. Even at the high rates billed by our top engineers, code reviews actually cost less than ordinary work because they only occupy a small fraction of time in a project. To give an example, a coding task may require a week to complete, but the code review may only be 15-30 minutes. Even at double or triple the billing rate, code review is still only a fraction of the overall cost. This difference makes our code review service the most cost-effective service that we offer.

As small of a cost that it is, the benefits of effective code review are tremendous. You can hire a team of less experienced engineers at a lower rate, while taking advantage of our code review services. It's like having an entire team of experienced engineers working for you, without having to pay full price.
