You inherited a product: code auditing before continuing
Heredar un producto es quedarte a cargo de un software que construyó otra persona: el desarrollador se fue, la agencia terminó el contrato, o el código pasó por tantas manos que ya nadie sabe con certeza qué hace. Tienes un producto que funciona —o que funciona a medias— y ninguna forma confiable de saber qué tan sano está por dentro. Una auditoría de código es la respuesta a esa pregunta antes…
Inheriting a software product can be a daunting task, especially when the original developer is no longer available or the code has been modified multiple times. A code audit is essential to assess the product's health and identify what needs to be conserved, repaired, or rewritten. This process involves reviewing the code, architecture, and other aspects such as account ownership, maintenance costs, and active risks.
A code audit provides a written report that helps businesses make informed decisions before investing in changes. According to Ramon Chancay, a code audit is a crucial step before making changes to a legacy product, and it can save businesses from costly mistakes.
