Review Board Reviews

Review board shows a better view for reviewing the code than bitbucket.

There is no major disadvantage with review board. It is infact one of the best review tool I ve used.

Flexible tool and good user interface for reviewing.

Great for Self and peer review of code.

Helps in reviewing the code on granular level

Reports generated post code review do not contain suggestion of best practices

In reviewing the code blocks which helps in smooth and error free development .

The simplicity of the interface and the simple ways to achieve code reviews

The way the code difference is displayed.

We perform code reviews using Review Board. We have removed silly mistakes in code and have achieved quality code.

Creating anf managing review request

Integration. with Github for code reviews

Review Reports to share with higher management

UI/UX needs to be improved a lot. Seems like an outdated version specially for Mac users the UI is not appealing and friendly

Review requests must have filter options and can be filtered by priority

Managing the team activity for Code Reviews, It gives us the insight which team members are performing the code reviews and following the processes

The best part I like about Review Board is it’s simplicity. It doesn’t have barrage of options like other review systems I have seen. It has a simple workflow that anyone can understand.

Review board is falling behind other review systems in certain aspects like ability to integration with IDEs.

Review board is used for all reviews at our company. It’s lightweight and very scalable.

It's not a super complex tool. It just shows you a diff and lets you make comments. That's all your really want in a code review tool.

Sometimes diffs don't load. And the workflow of matching up with a branch could be more solid. I'm not sold on its usefulness. Also, the command-line tools could be really useful in windows. I haven't seen a good integration of those.

Pick a tool people like to use, and use that. I don't see a need for any particular product over another. As long as your team uses the tool and it stays out of your way, it doesn't really matter what it is.

Code reviews stop constructions defects in software. This tool just standardizes the way you do that.

Review Board is easy to setup and integrate with existing codebases

It supports both git and svn repositories, as well as branches, changelists, and custom diff patches

It even supports uploading of images and other files for more user-facing features

There's also JIRA integration, where we can specify JIRA tickets associated with the review board request, and these will then be integrated into the commit message while pushing.

Additionally, it supports ACL restrictions, which means that one or more users need to approve a review board request before the user can push their code to the repository.

Lastly, Review Board has a very powerful diff tool which makes it very simple to review large amounts of code and comment on parts effectively

Sometimes, if code is moved from one part of the file to another, the diff tool makes it hard to understand what code was moved and what code was actually changed.

The user interface has not changed in years, and there are better and more modern alternatives like Phabricator.

It is difficult to integrate custom templates into Review Board, and the Slack bot is not very useful either.

Definitely consider another open-source alternative called Phabricator before opting for Review Board.

My company needed a formal platform to coordinate code reviews among hundreds of developers. We also needed to specify access control lists in order to make sure that no substandard code was being committed.

Transparent feedback about the product, can see the issues others are facing, can voice your opinion be it positive ot negative.

Cannot judge how genuine and true the reviews are.

Transparent feedback booth ways

Review Board's no-frills approach to a code review is probably it's most defining feature. See diffs, update comments, add reviewers, a text box for tests you did, a textbook for your descriptions, and a publish button once you're done making your changes. Everything you need; nothing you don't.

It has a small learning curve to get used to it's interface, but it doesn't really take too long to do. One glaring disadvantage to Review Board compared to other similar software is that it's not pretty; some may even call it ugly. Although to others this very trait might be its unusually endearing quality. It comes down to preference in a sense.

Our company is shifting to another form of a code review board that aligns better with insider policies and practices. However, this software is great for anyone looking for a no-frills code reviewing software.

Getting code reviewed and shipping it out without any hassles. This software provides just that.

Easy to integrate. Open source. The page load is pretty fast that we do not need to wait for a long time.

Diff can only contain text. The image content cannot be displayed. No 'feed' for review board.

Performing code reviews. The benefit is that we are improving our code quality with code reviews.
