Case Study – Importance of Code Review

The more code we write, more experience we have so less errors we make in the software development. However, this does not mean that you should write more code when a less code is possible that does the same thing (remember less is more! otherwise by counting number of lines will just encourage sloppy code development).

The more code you have in your software, it is more likely to have bugs… so here is an interesting point of view.

We should have in place the code review (or pair programming methodology) that will avoid the following code inconsistency (simple, obvious bug). Code should be accepted to repository only if the development manager reviews and approves the code. Find the obvious inconsistency of the following code. Did the developer want to hide it or not?
