( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

I think of myself as a moderately good developer. I have a reasonable amount of experience, I know about common patterns, I reuse code when possible, I try to follow good development practice.

I use test-driven development, I religiously use a revision control systsem. I use Devel::Cover to check that my tests cover 100% of the code I write. Likewise, I ensure that I have good Pod::Coverage.

I've done informal code reviews before -- at many of my clients, my co-workers disdained code review, so I found ways to do it "on the sly": "Hey, I'm not sure about this module, would you look at it with me?"

Now, though, I have an opportunity to do more structured and formal code review. I don't want to bury the process in formality and paperwork, but it is important that I can point a manager at documentation and say "yep, I really did code reviews, here's the proof".

Can the members of the Monestary suggest:

  1. Ground rules for having useful code reviews
  2. Ideas for what kinds of documentation I should have to prove they've been done
  3. Any other information about conducting semi-formal code reviews in a way that's really useful for developing (esp. in Perl).

I'd certainly benefit from the experience of my esteemed brothers and sisters.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
