Features Overview
Code discussion
The heart of the review process is discussion around the code.
- Add you comments at the review level, or specific source code lines.
- Initiate threaded code discussions with your team members without scheduled meetings.
- Mark comments ans defects that need to be fixed
Instant switch from review to editing
Integration with Visual Studio gives you another benefit: you can start editing
code right away. Just click a comment on the review board, jump to the code editor,
and you are ready to fix the bugs.
Review comments in the code editor
When you re-work you code after review, you can see review comments next to code
in the editor. You edit the code, mark comments as closed and they disappear from
the editor.
Incremental review
Often, you need to review the same code multiple times. Reviewers find bugs, the
author changes the code. Review Assistant allows you to have several iterations
within the same review's context.
Source control clients integrated into the review process
Using external version control clients like TortoiseSVN? Connect them with Review
Assistant using Code Compare. Add review comments to
source code while comparing file revisions.
Flexible workflow
Review Assistant has a flexible review workflow:
- Only necessary review states are supported.
- Three main roles: author, reviewer, and moderator (optional).
- Discussions and defects statuses are not strict.
