This book subtitled "Constructive Code Reviews" offers a different approach to delivering meaningful code reviews that goes beyond superficial checklists and tense, critical, conversations. Instead, Adrienne Braganza shows how to improve both applications and team dynamics. The book has comprehensive coverage of every part of the code review process, from choosing a system to keeping reviews manageable for everyone involved. With this mix of tools, processes, common sense, and compassion, Braganza says developers can run a highly effective review process from first commit to final deployment.
