Generate a Code Review Report

Visual Expert automatically generates detailed code review reports for PowerBuilder, Oracle or SQL Server code, based on a set of rules pre-defined for each language.

What is a code review report?

The code review is meant to improve your code under several angles:

1. Clean up the code to reduce maintenance and deployment costs.
2. Improve code readability and maintainability.
3. Fix performance issues to speed up the application in production.
4. Remove security breaches that could be exploited to hack into your system.
