Frustration-Free Code Reviews

September 5, 2018 by Annyce Davis 1 Comment

#wocintechchat

Hopefully, code reviews are already a part of your software development process. They should be a collaborative, non-judgemental tool for improving code quality and decreasing knowledge silos. Yet instead, they often serve as a source of frustration and fear. But why?

Well, if this was a play we’d have the following parts:

  • The code
  • The Author
  • The Author’s Ego
  • The Reviewer
  • The Reviewer’s Ego

As you can imagine bringing this cast of characters together can be a challenge! Especially since we want to do so in a way that results in high-quality software. Thus we need a plan, just like any good play has a well-written script.

Let’s look at the following areas and how they contribute to a frustration-free code review:

  • Goals
  • Pull Requests
  • CI Integration
  • Giving Comments
  • Responding to Comments
