Configuring code reviews

An automated code review is a development feature that applies a set of rules to a code base to validate compliance with best development practices and software engineering guidelines. To get the maximum value from code review, development leads can review all the rules in the Complete code review and configure the code review by enabling and categorizing only the rules important for the team.

There are several code reviews that are supplied with the code review feature. In each code review, rules are grouped based on a particular aspect of quality or severity. To configure code review, the development lead uses the Complete code review because it contains a superset of all rule categories. From the Complete code review, the team lead chooses a subset of rules to configure the code review according to the team's needs, exports the configuration and distributes it to all team members.
