ABSTRACT:
A method and system for efficient code review performed during the software development. The method and system include storing information about a plurality of authors and reviewers; detecting code to be reviewed by analyzing a code repository with respect to recent code modifications; creating a code review invitation according to the stored information about a plurality of authors and reviewers; distributing the code review invitation to a respective reviewer; recording comments for review code from the respective reviewer; measuring coverage of the reviewed code; applying metrics to the code review invitations and the comments; measuring code review characteristics based on the applied metrics.
