Is is important to be humble throughout the code review process. Accept your mistakes,
|
||||
and be professional when pointing out improvements or errors in the code of your fellow
|
||||
team members.
|
||||
|
||||
Code Reviews exist in order to improve the quality of the code in a software project.
|
||||
A code review can be done amongst developers of the project under review, as well as developers from other teams in the same company.
|
||||
Even if a review is just an explanation of the code to another programmer, the feeling that your code is going to be read/ inspected by another programmer as well makes you write better code in many ways (smaller methods, comments and no ["magic numbers"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_number_(programming))).
|
||||
|
||||
As to what is reviewed and when, well there is no clear answer. Many teams have rules that every piece of code that checks-in in the version control system has to be reviewed by another programmer, while other teams have whole days when they dedicate to code reviews across the team.
