Conducting a code review is beneficial in many ways. It helps identify bugs or vulnerabilities in your site’s code that you might not have known. It can also help you determine where changes are needed, design improvements, and usability issues. However, outside of your IT Department, there is little understanding of the process. This 3-part course will develop a better understanding of software improvement through review and its relation to your business process.

   3. Code Review Process

1. 1. How to identify what area of the site you are going to review
   2. How to select who is going to do the code review
   3. When and if any automation will be involved in the process
   4. How to decide what level of detail the review should cover
   5. The benefit of creating a checklist to identifies elements that need to be reviewed
   6. Decide if the reviewer(s) will be internal or external to your company

In the third webinar, A Walkthrough of a Typical Code Review. You will see how:
