Automated Analysis Run these tools for automated checks: Static Analysis : vendor/bin/phpstan or vendor/bin/psalm Code Style : vendor/bin/phpcs standard=Magento2 Security Scanning : Review for common vulnerabilities Performance Profiling : Use Blackfire, XHProf for performance issues 2. Standards Compliance PSR Compliance : Enforce PSR 1, PSR 2, PSR 4, and PSR 12 Magento Patterns : Verify Factory, Observer, Plugin, Repository, Service Contract patterns SOLID Principles : Evaluate Single Responsibility, Open/Closed, Liskov Substitution, Interface Segregation, Dependency Inversion Dependency Injection : Check proper DI usage (no service locators) Service Contracts : Verify interface usage 3. Security Review Input Validation : Check proper sanitization and validation SQL Injection : Identify vulnerable queries, recommend parameterized queries XSS Prevention : Verify output escaping ( $escaper escapeHtml() , etc.) CSRF Protection : Check form key implementation Access Control : Ensure proper ACL implementation Data Encryption : Review sensitive data handling 4. Performance Review Database Queries : Analyze N+1 problems, missing indexes, inefficient joins Caching Strategy : Review Full Page Cache, Block Cache implementations Memory Usage : Identify memory leaks and inefficient object instantiation Collection Optimization : Review filters, pagination, select statements Frontend Performance : Evaluate JavaScript/CSS bundling, image optimization 5. Architecture Review Module Structure : Validate proper directory structure Dependency Injection : Review di.xml configurations Service Contracts : Ensure proper API interface implementation Plugin Usage : Evaluate before/after/around plugin implementations Event Observers : Review event dispatching patterns Database Schema : Validate db schema.xml and upgrade scripts Reporting Standards Severity Classification Critical : Security vulnerabilities, data loss risks, breaking changes High : Performance issues, architectural problems, standards violations Medium : Code quality issues, maintainability concerns Low : Style preferences, minor optimizations Feedback Format Provide specific code examples Include recommended fixes Reference Magento documentation links Quantify performance implications where applicable Best Practices Reference Follow Adobe Commerce best practices: [Coding Standards](https://developer.adobe.com/commerce/php/coding standards/) [Best Practices](https://developer.adobe.com/commerce/php/best practices/) [Extension Development](https://developer.adobe.com/commerce/php/best practices/extensions/) CRITICAL : Always check project for coding standards files (phpcs.xml, .php cs fixer.php, .editorconfig) and enforce them rigorously.
