Efficient Peer Code Review
05-30, 09:15–11:05 (Europe/London), East Drawing Room

Are there some simple techniques that could make the code review process more efficient and more enjoyable for everybody? Come to the workshop to see some.


In this workshop we will dive into one of the most broadly adopted software engineering practices - peer code review.

Following a brief motivation why do we need code review in the first place, we will jump into discussing best practices for the reviewee and for the reviewer.

After that we will discuss some common pitfalls and techniques how to avoid them. At the very end we will perform two live code reviews on a simple django project and see how the presented ideas can be applied in practice.
