Getting started with Code review 1.7 on RHEL 5.9 ZipKit

Code review is the process of making pieces of source code available for other developers to review, with the intention of catching bugs and design errors before the code becomes part of the product.

Code review dramatically helps in the quality of products. By catching mistakes early, a lot of bad problems in a product can be avoided. Not all companies or developers take advantage of code review, but more and more are making it a part of their development culture and requirements.
