What is Code Review?
It is the process of software developers examining each other's codes to find errors and improve quality.
Overview
Code review is the checking of the code in a software project by another eye before it is included in the main structure. This process is critical not only for debugging, but also for the team to learn from each other's coding style and maintain standards. In the world of TreScout, this is a quality control filter that ensures the quality of the code.
How it works
The developer sends his code, other team members review the code, comment and ask for corrections if necessary. Once the code is approved, it is added to the main project.
Where it is used
It is a standard practice in platforms such as GitHub, GitLab and in enterprise software development processes.
Commonly confused with
Unlike automated tests that only test whether the code works, human logic and aesthetics come into play here.
Frequently asked questions
Why isn't it automated?
Automated tools can find bugs, but only humans can fully evaluate the alignment of the code's logic with business objectives.
Isn't it a waste of time?
Although it takes time at first, it saves serious time in the long run as it prevents major errors that may occur later.
