A valuable opportunity for the experienced developers to grasp something new

Code review shall essentially be carried out by a responsible team member. However, if any junior professional is assigned that role then his work shall be cross-checked by some senior member. Code review shall be a joint responsibility and not limited to a single team member.

Code Review Objective

There are certain essential objectives underlying the code review:

• To ensure error-free code
• Task objectives are compared with the set goals of the code
• Ensure automated tests relevant to the recently added code
• Careful analysis of the fact whether the existing employed tests require any modifications to cover the added code
• Ensure that the new code meets the requirements of existing style guidelines

Apart from the above, every organization must have in place a robust checklist for code review. Besides, the developers carrying out code reviews should list out the errors they have committed to eliminate such errors in future activities.

A customized checklist along with the above code review objectives will streamline the organization’s reviewing process and ensure seamless functioning with faster detection of errors. Any code change shall be properly documented and reviewed by the development team leader or the principal architect of the solution. Proper instructions regarding the code change with clarity in expectation will help the developer of the code to understand and implement specific requirements without infructuous waste of time and energy. These measures ensure bug-free code when sent to the Q&A team and establish rapid software deliverables to the client.
