Code Reviews
The practice of code review is a manual step in the CI/CD process. Our changes are inspected by another engineer for general readability and errors that may have slipped through our automated test suite. Everybody makes mistakes, and two pairs of eyes are better than one.
Code reviews are an excellent point in time for gathering data for future automation. Identifying common mistakes and establishing automation practices to rectify these automatically for future development cycles lie at the heart of continuous improvement and the spirit of this book. We review and improve the process of code reviews over time, as this practice has the potential to become a bottleneck for development velocity if our practices do not evolve with our needs.
