Automated code review

Last updated on
6 October 2020

There is work underway to integrate Coder review with the automated testing system. The full road-map and issue list is at:

#1299710: [meta] Automate the coding-standards part of patch review

What this means is that a lot of the slow, tedious, (and at times, contentious) work of reviewing patches will be shifted from human-brain-power to computer-power. (Or as webchick would say, "magical fairy-dust pony power".)

This will free up our overworked maintainers to focus their highly-trained minds on the more important questions, such as:

  • Does this code solve the problem in the best possible way?

  • Are there any security issues involved?

  • What is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything?
