The reasons to maintain Microsoft Access projects
Microsoft Access was once a go-to solution for its user-friendly interface, seamless integration with Microsoft Office, rapid development capabilities, and cost-effectiveness. However, the landscape has shifted significantly, especially after Microsoft announced the closure of Access Web Apps and Web Databases. Due to these changes, maintaining existing Microsoft Access applications remains crucial for several reasons:
The current state of Microsoft Access among other technologies
Migrating from Microsoft Access may seem unnecessary given its historical reliability and the satisfaction of a loyal user base. However, recent data suggests that relying on Microsoft Access could limit your organization's growth and technological competitiveness. According to the Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2024, only 4.2% of respondents continue to use Microsoft Access, and its last version was released in September 2020. This indicates that the platform is becoming increasingly outdated, with limited updates and enhancements to keep pace with modern technological demands.
While 23.3% of users who have used Microsoft Access in the past year intend to continue using it, the overwhelming trend is moving towards more robust, scalable, and versatile database solutions. The fact that only 1.4% of respondents plan to adopt Microsoft Access in the future signals a clear shift in the development community away from this aging platform.
Scenarios for maintaining Microsoft Access applications
When it comes to maintaining Microsoft Access applications, the right approach depends on your specific business requirements, environment, and budget. However, in today’s rapidly evolving tech landscape, you may encounter challenges in supporting Microsoft Access applications. These challenges could prompt you to consider either upgrading your database to a more modern technology or fully migrating your application to a web-based platform.
Here are three typical scenarios you might face:
If your Microsoft Access application still meets your business needs but requires updates to remain functional, maintaining it can be a viable option. This approach focuses on extending the life of your application, addressing issues like performance optimization, bug fixes, and compatibility with newer systems.
As your data needs grow or the limitations of Microsoft Access become more apparent, migrating your database to a more robust and scalable technology may be necessary. This step allows you to keep your existing application while upgrading its backend to improve performance, security, and scalability.
For businesses seeking to modernize their operations, migrating the entire Microsoft Access application to a web-based platform can be the most forward-looking solution. This approach not only enhances accessibility and collaboration by moving your application online but also provides opportunities for integrating with other web services and leveraging cloud-based technologies.

How we ensure code quality
We adhere to coding best practices to ensure our codebase is structured, readable, and maintainable. This includes following consistent naming conventions, using appropriate design patterns, applying SOLID principles, and ensuring code is well-documented. By adopting these practices, we enhance the clarity and reliability of our code.
We employ a robust code review process where every change undergoes thorough examination by peers. Code reviews help us maintain coding standards, catch potential bugs or logic errors, and promote knowledge sharing among team members. By conducting reviews before merging code, we ensure consistency, improve overall code quality, and mitigate risks associated with changes.
Unit testing is integral to our development process. We create automated tests for individual units of code to verify their functionality in isolation. This approach helps us identify bugs early in the development cycle, ensures new features integrate smoothly with existing code, and provides confidence in the reliability of our software.
We use various metrics to assess and monitor the quality of our codebase. These metrics include code coverage, which measures the percentage of code covered by automated tests, and cyclomatic complexity to gauge code complexity and maintainability. We utilize SonarQube and Veracode and other static and dynamic code check tools to gain comprehensive insights into code health.
