One of the most important steps in the architectural process is the code review. It ensures code quality prior to code entering the user testing stream. It also increases reuse, developer education, cross-training and general project awareness while decreasing developer dependence and lines of code; yet it remains largely under utilized even in mature development organizations. Why?
The truth is most developers not accustom to open source coding practices are intimidated by code reviews. They shy away from having their code critiqued by peers. Managers often underestimate the value in the process and cow-tow to developer excuses constituting review avoidance. The most common illusion being that the process is time consuming.
The simple fact is: creating an enterprise code review process is critical to establishing an architectural function in any organization. KI has packaged solutions which not only facilitate the code review process, but alleviate the number one resistance point among developers.
