Effective Code Reviews

Houston Java Users Group

<H4>Presented by</H4>
<H2>Jane Prusakova </H2>
Code reviews often become the Hunger Games of software development process. Long hours of code shaming and humiliation, never-ending dogma wars, temperature-raising tension on the team. Yet, code reviews can be productive, fun, and a powerful tool to improve the developer community. Regularly reviewing other people’s code is a great way to increase code ownership, develop a common code style, and share coding knowledge across the team. In this session we’ll learn how to set up effective and kind code reviews. Talk about preparation and follow up that would allow us to capture the most benefits.  We will also consider how to ensure that the code review is helping to build and empower the team, not destroy it.
