11 Best Practices for Lightweight Peer Code Review

smartbearbigIt’s common sense that peer code review – in which software developers review each other’s code before releasing software to QA – identifies bugs, encourages collaboration, and keeps code more maintainable.

But it’s also clear that some code review techniques are inefficient and ineffective. The meetings take time and kill excitement. Strict process can stifle productivity, but lax process means no one knows whether reviews are effective or even happening. And the social ramifications of personal critique can ruin morale.

This whitepaper describes 11 best practices for efficient, lightweight peer code review that have been proven to be effective by scientific study and by Smart Bear's extensive field experience. Use these techniques to ensure your code reviews improve your code – without wasting your developers' time.
