We have an .NET assembly written in C# consisting of 16 classes and approximately
5000 lines of code.
We require that this assembly is audited by an expert for the following:
General Best Practices in C#
Best Practices for Data Access
Logging
Exception Handling
Database Exception Handling
Security
Performance running in a desktop application
Performance and Safety running in a web application
Potential for Refactoring
There are multiple issues with this assembly that we are aware of. We require that
an expert documents additional issue *and* also provides recommendations and solutions
for the issues found.
For example, this project does not use the built in the data access layer support in
Visual Studio. It's using string concatenation to generate SQL statements, and has it's
own table abstractions, which we are not in love with.
We're looking at accept multiple bids on this project, the next phase of which will be to implement changes suggested. Obviously individuals selected for this project will receive preferential treatment during bidding in the next phase of the project. In addition, this is a small part of a major ongoing project for us and work will be heavily scrutinized, however bonuses will be given out for good work and findings outside of what we already know.
Bidders should highlight: Expertise in C#, Expertise with Microsoft Best Practices. MSCDs will be weighed heavily.
