Code Reviews
Code Reviews are a powerful way of making sure that all developers work to a consistently high standard. All Egghead software developers have their work reviewed by their peers each week. In this way, we get incredibly high consistency, and everybody always works using best practices.
A code review is a process where a developer gives everything he/she has worked on in the last week to one of his/her peers to check over. The reviewer will use their own knowledge and experience to ensure that the code they are looking at is good. This helps us disseminate best practice easily – we use a traffic light system to record the outcome of the reviews (green light - everything good, amber light - a problem was noted, red light – a problem was noted again that has been reported in the past). As we use the outcomes of code reviews as part of our employee appraisals, the guys are pretty motivated towards always getting green lights. This means that you can be sure that we produce good quality code, consistently.
