Code reviews

A code review is a selection of categories and rules that focus on an aspect of software quality (such as globalization) or a software property (such as severity). For example the Quick code review is a selection of rules that all have the highest severity level, which is “problem.” Note that if you change one of the rules in this code review to have a different severity level, that rule will no longer appear in the Quick code review.
