Part 4 Pairing code reviews with other practices

 

You’ve made it this far, congratulations! figurefigurefigure

In this last part, you can choose to learn more about code reviews within the context of other software development practices before I leave you with my thoughts on the future of code reviews.

If you pair program or are curious about it, chapter 11 focuses on the popular practice within the context of code reviews. A general introduction is provided, then some obvious questions are answered: Do we still need code reviews if we pair program? Why should we combine the two? How do we do both successfully? Chapter 12 does pretty much the same thing, but this time, with mob programming.

Finally, chapter 13 discusses code reviews and AI (at the time of this writing, you really couldn’t ignore or run away from AI, so here we are). There were many ways I could have gone about writing this chapter; I chose to explore what’s possible right now in terms of AI functionality in code reviews and to remind everyone what to be mindful of as we (inevitably) introduce AI into our code review processes.
