On-Demand Code Review
Ship high-quality code every time with expert reviews.
What is code review?
Code review happens when another developer goes through your or your team's code line-by-line and provides constructive, helpful feedback. Code review saves time and effort by ensuring code quality up-front, rather than waiting until issues are discovered in production. It’s an essential part of the day-to-day lives of many professional software developers and data scientists.
Ship high quality code
Ensure that you ship high quality and bug-free code every time.
Save time
Catch the issues in your code early on by bringing on another pair of eyes. Don't wait until they cause problems in production.
Reviewed by experts
Our mentors can perform security audits, review your overall architecture, or check your coding style.
Why Code Reviews are Important
The main purpose of code review is to prevent problematic code from being deployed to production. Reviews can help you catch bugs, identify missed edge cases, spot design issues, and avoid anti-patterns before they become a problem.
The second purpose of code review is to help you be a better developer. When you know that your code is going to be reviewed by another developer, you write code differently. You take the time to give methods or functions names that express what they do. You add more thorough tests. You write code that’s meant to be readable. You spend more time thinking through side effects and unintended consequences.
Code Review Checklist
If you are an experienced developer who can go through someone else's code line by line to help check their approach to a problem, here is a list of essential questions to ask yourself during this process:
- Are there potential problems with the developer's approach? Does the approach make sense?
- Are there any security vulnerabilities written in the code?
- Is there a way to do this faster or better?
- Would you want to be responsible for changes to this code? What would you do differently?
- Does this code follow the best practices for this language/framework/library?
- Can the code be easily maintained?
Once your comments are all set, go over them again and check:
- Are all of your comments critical? Or did you also provide positive feedback?
- Are your comments specific and clear? Did you give concrete examples whenever possible?
- Are you using any words or acronyms that the developer may not understand?
- Is there anything else that the developer might have missed?
