Code Review
THOU MUST
- Review code on a project for the following reasons:
- Correctness - Code should be not only error-free but also functional.
- Tradecraft - Code should follow tradecraft practices.
- Maintainability - Code should be easy to maintain by other developers.
- Read code at your own workstation.
-
If you are reviewing code:
- Take the time to understand code changes fully and their effect on project as a whole
- Provide constructive commentary.
- Promote discussion amongst the development team.
-
If your code is being reviewed:
-
Address all provided comments.
- Fix it: Create additional commits to fix issue.
- Flag it: Create a JIRAUser Managment Software (Atlassian) issue to track the issue and ensure that it will be fixed later.
- Fight it: Defend your decision/reasoning in a civil way to promote discussion.
- It takes a lot of time to read and understand code, so you should respectfully respond to all comments.
-
Address all provided comments.
THOU SHOULD
-
Use available tools (i.e. Stash pull requests) to make this communication easier
- Configure Stash to Enforce Workflows and Pull Requests
- Configure Stash to Enforce Workflows and Pull Requests
- Clone, build, and run (if you can't do this easily, this is a problem)
- Provide only constructive comments to the original developer.
- Review in small logical chunks of code (a source file or module, small commits lead to faster and easier code reviews)
THOU SHOULD NOT
- Skim code superficially and blindly click 'Accept'
- Read code on a projector in a conference room (zzzzzz...)
-
Make code style comments just to start a flame war
THOU MUST NOT
-
Conduct a Code Review after a release candidate has already been delivered to IV&V. (What's the point? You can't incorporate any recommendations, and you'll bore everyone walking through the entire codebase!)
