The Technical Assessment
The technical assessment: the answers to the test, before you commit to anything
A fixed-fee review that tells you exactly what is wrong with your software project, what it will take to fix and what it will cost. The report is yours to keep.
What we review
Code and architecture
How the system is built, where it is fragile, and what blocks the next feature.
Stories and agile process
How work is written, prioritized and delivered, and why estimates miss.
CI/CD
How code gets from a laptop to production, and where releases break.
Security
Credentials, access, dependencies and the gaps that put data at risk.

Questions about the assessment
Do I have to hire Briebug after the assessment?
No. The report is yours to keep. Take it to any shop, or give it to your own team. Most clients hire us to do the work, but the assessment stands on its own.
What stacks do you assess?
Any stack. The rescues in our case studies ran on Angular, React, .NET, Java, Laravel and WordPress, hosted on AWS and Azure. We also assess Ruby and Rails, Swift, Objective-C, Kotlin, Dart, C/C++, React Native, Ionic and Node codebases.
What do you need from us?
Access to the code, the backlog and the pipeline, and time with the people who build and use the system.
How long does it take?
About 1 week.
Is the fee credited if we hire you?
No. For the $10K fee, our engineers spend the week reviewing your code and your processes to write a comprehensive report that you can take to anyone to have the work done. The fee pays for that work, whether or not you hire us.
