Understanding Your Legacy PHP Application
Technical debt analysis for informed decisions
Complete codebase analysis with static analysis, dependency audits, and architecture mapping
Risk and vulnerability assessment identifying security issues and technical debt hotspots
Modernisation roadmap with prioritised action plan and effort estimates
Technical debt quantification with measurable metrics on complexity and maintainability
Our comprehensive analysis combines automated tools with manual expert review to understand your entire application. We use PHPStan 2.0 for type checking, PHPMD for code smell detection, and PHP_CodeSniffer for standards compliance whilst senior developers examine architectural decisions and business logic patterns. This dual approach provides both quantitative metrics and qualitative insights about your codebase's structure, maintainability, and modernisation requirements.
