Code Review

Definition

Code review is the practice of having peers examine proposed code changes before they are merged, checking for correctness, design quality, security issues, and adherence to team standards. Pull request-based code reviews (GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket) are the dominant model.

Effective code reviews are focused, timely, and constructive — they catch bugs and spread knowledge rather than enforce style preferences.
