I remember sitting in on code reviews early in my career. You took your code, put it up on a projector, and the architects—shadowy figures in the back of the room—ripped it to shreds. These marathon sessions would take all day and were completely exhausting. They certainly improved the code, but they wreaked havoc with both release schedules and people’s psyches! Nowadays, I do code reviews a little differently. Instead of submitting our code to the senior architects, we do peer code reviews. Here’s how it works: I go away and write some code, including tests for that code. I run all the tests and tweak until I’m happy with the work. It functions, it’s structured properly, it conforms to all of our style requirements, and it’s got a really clever solution to that sorting problem. I commit the code to my feature or developer branch. It’s not in mainline code yet, and won’t ship (this is important!). I ask for review. If we’re working in Git, then I do it by creating ...

Simple way to do code review Table of Contents A code review (also known as code inspection or walkthrough ) is often considered to be a complex, time consuming and highly regulated process. In reality it’s just another form of communication between team members and a great way to ensure code quality and stay up to date with changes. In this guide we will show a simple and effortless way to do it on a daily basis. Use version control We hope you are already doing this! Version control systems make any work inside your team much easier, and this includes code reviews. Check out our guide “Introduction to version control” if you are still managing code the old-fashion way, or are interested in learning some best practices. Stay up to date Email and RSS are common ways to be notified about new things and code changes are not exceptions. Depending on the project scope and team size you can choose between checking every commit or just doing review o...
