Our certification criteria
Our certification is built on 9 essential pillars to guarantee the quality and longevity of your Drupal projects.

A clear architecture and controlled technical debt reduce maintenance costs.
Handover to other companies
Complete documentation and documented dependencies facilitate transitions between teams.
Documentation
Technical and functional documentation is essential for the long-term viability of the project.
Sufficient test coverage
Automated tests reduce the risk of regression and improve stability.
Architectural consistency
A modular, well-designed architecture ensures the scalability of the project.
Modules in use
Up-to-date and maintained modules reduce security and compatibility risks.
Deployment industrialisation
An automated deployment process (CI/CD) reduces errors and speeds up releases.
