Code reviewing software

Code reviewing software is computer software that helps humans find flaws in program source code and therefore assure the quality of the source code.^[1] It can be divided into two categories:

• Automated code review software checks source code against a predefined set of rules and produces reports.^[2]
  • Different types of browsers visualise software structure and help humans better understand its structure. Such systems are geared more to analysis because they typically do not contain a predefined set of rules to check software against.
• Manual code review tools allow people to collaboratively inspect and discuss changes, storing the history of the process for future reference.
