About this book
Deliver code reviews that consistently build up your team and improve your applications.
“Looks Good to Me” offers a unique approach to delivering meaningful code reviews that goes beyond superficial checklists and tense critical conversations. Instead, you’ll learn how to improve both your applications and your team dynamics.
“Looks Good to Me” teaches you how to:
• Understand a code review's benefits proactively prevent loopholes and bottlenecks
• Co-create an objective code review system
• Clarify responsibilities: author, reviewer, team lead/manager, and the team itself
• Establish manageable guidelines and protocols
• Align with your team and explicitly document the policies they will follow
• Automate code quality with linting, formatting, static analysis, and automated testing
• Compose effective comments for any situation
• Consider combining code reviews with pair programming or mob programming
• AI for code reviews
Inside “Looks Good to Me” you’ll find 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, you’ll run a highly effective review process from first commit to final deployment.
Foreword by Scott Hanselman.
