Overview
- Standards provide a guiding light that we follow while writing code.
- Standards are born literally from blood, sweat and tears from lessons learned.
- Standards contain industry coding standards with a Signify flavor.
- They are the basis on which ALL Signify code reviews are done.
Why Code Review?
Having code reviews as part of our development workflow will bring different benefits to the entire team, such as:
- Fewer bugs. Code reviews will decrease the amount of bugs that make it to production.
- Better security. Code reviews make it easy to spot potential vulnerabilities and fix them before they make their way to production servers.
- Better performance. Code reviews help spot performance issues and regressions.
- Code quality. Things like readability, efficiency, and maintainability of your code may not always directly affect the end users, but they are tremendously important in the long run.
- Knowledge sharing. Everyone on our team can learn from each other by reviewing each other’s code.
