A weakness walkthrough turns a team’s actual code review workflow into an agreed process. The team proceeds collaboratively, stopping at each identified weakness to discuss why it matters and define the ideal state. section 9.2.1
Run the walkthrough in sequence:
- Condense duplicate comments into distinct workflow weaknesses, while preserving supplemental detail. section 9.2.1
- Mark remaining comments that are distinct enough to stand alone as weaknesses. section 9.2.1
- Stop at each weakness, discuss its cause and ideal state, and choose whether to remove, shorten, or enforce the step. section 9.2.1
- Replace the weakness with the agreed solution before continuing to the next workflow step. section 9.2.1
Figure 9.7 Final workflow, all weaknesses accounted for
Use the final workflow view to verify that every identified weakness has an agreed solution. section 9.2.1
