Magento Code Audit & Technical Review — Tech Debt Report

What We Review

A structured review across five dimensions of Magento codebase quality.

Static Analysis

Automated analysis with PHP CodeSniffer, PHPStan, and Magento-specific rulesets. We flag coding standard violations, potential bugs, and unsafe patterns.

Architecture Review

Module structure, dependency graph, event/plugin usage, and service contract implementation are assessed for scalability and maintainability.

Third-Party Module Audit

Every Marketplace and custom extension is reviewed: quality, update frequency, Composer constraints, known CVEs, and core override risk.

Custom Code Assessment

Bespoke modules, theme overrides, and local modifications are reviewed for correctness, security, and long-term supportability.

Tech Debt Quantification

We estimate the development cost to resolve each class of issue, giving you a realistic picture of the investment required.

Upgrade Readiness

We flag everything that would block a Magento version upgrade — module incompatibilities, deprecated API usage, and non-standard customisations.

Deliverables

Technical Audit Report

Full findings across all review dimensions, with code samples, risk ratings (Critical/High/Medium/Low), and detailed explanation for each issue.

Executive Summary

A one-page non-technical summary of overall codebase health, top risk areas, and key recommendations — suitable for stakeholders and board review.

Prioritised Remediation Roadmap

Issues ranked by business impact and fix complexity. Structured as a sprint-ready backlog you can hand directly to your development team.

Tech Debt Estimate

A breakdown of estimated developer hours to resolve each category of issues — giving you the data to budget and prioritise remediation work.

Who Needs a Code Audit?

→ Merchants inheriting a store from a previous agency and needing to understand what they've got

→ Businesses planning a version upgrade who want to quantify the risk first

→ Teams experiencing unexplained bugs, performance issues, or deployment failures

→ Investors or acquirers performing technical due diligence on a Magento business

→ CTOs benchmarking an internal team's output quality

→ Stores preparing for rapid growth and wanting to identify scalability bottlenecks

Audit Process

Access & Setup

Read-only Git and server access is all we need. We set up an isolated analysis environment — no changes made to your store.

Automated Scan

Static analysis tools run against your full codebase. Results are triaged by our engineers to eliminate false positives.

Manual Review

Senior engineers review the automated findings in context, investigate architecture decisions, and assess third-party module quality.

Report & Debrief

We deliver the written report and walk you through the findings in a call — so you understand the implications and next steps.
