The reasons to maintain VBA projects
For businesses that rely on Excel for various processes, Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) has historically provided automation, integration, and rapid development. However, as technology advances, VBA applications can become outdated and present challenges. Therefore, maintaining existing VBA Excel applications is essential for several key reasons:
The decline of Visual Basic for Applications in modern development
The Stack Overflow Developer Survey 2024 paints a clear picture of VBA's diminishing presence in the software development landscape. Currently, VBA holds a mere 3.7% share among 60,171 respondents, highlighting its shrinking role compared to other technologies.
Looking ahead, VBA's future appears even less promising. Only 1.3% of developers express interest in integrating VBA into new projects, indicating a significant shift away from the technology. Despite this, a portion of the development community remains loyal to VBA, with 24.9% of those who used it in the past year planning to continue its use.
Scenarios for maintaining VBA applications
Depending on your business needs, environment, and budget, you might consider different approaches to maintain or enhance your VBA applications. Here are four common scenarios you might encounter:
If your VBA application still meets your business needs, maintaining it might be the best option. This approach involves extending the application's life by addressing performance optimization, bug fixes, and ensuring compatibility with newer systems. By focusing on these aspects, you can keep your application functional and reliable, avoiding the need for immediate, costly upgrades.
As your business grows, the limitations of VBA may become more apparent, particularly in terms of scalability and integration with modern systems. Migrating your application to a more robust and scalable technology stack, such as .NET, Python, or JavaScript, can provide enhanced performance, better integration capabilities, and support for modern development practices.
Migrating your VBA application to a cloud platform can enhance scalability, improve integration capabilities, and provide a more flexible environment for future growth. Cloud platforms also offer improved security, regular updates, and the ability to access your applications from anywhere, ensuring your business remains agile and competitive.
By integrating APIs, you can bridge the gap between your VBA applications and other software systems, creating a cohesive digital ecosystem. This approach allows for seamless data exchange, enhances automation, and improves overall operational efficiency.

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.
