Rating: 10 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
Our team is dedicated for development, so every day is like writing a lot of code and to maintain the quality a lot of reviews and collaborations to achieve the best, robust development environment. So earlier we were using some third party review process where we need to push the feature branch then raise pull request or merge request after that reviewers will get mails and after that review will be happened and in the end review comments etc. So it seems to be a long and futile process. For such situation CodeStream comes as a charm. It facilitate code reviews on the fly within no time, fastest peer code discussions with highlighting feature which is very useful for the later stages in the development cycle. Its a simple feedback request process which improves the whole development efficiency and productivity.
Pros
- Peer code discussions.
- CodeStream makes it possible that smaller code reviews can be initiated rather than a big cumbersome review in conventional development practice.
- Fast code reviews.
- No commits are required for those tasks which are in progress state, for review requests.
- Best part is reviewer have a screen which projects whole code with the difference so reviewer have better visualization.
- Review comments appears to be native comments.
- Inside IDE collaboration with multiple developers.
Cons
- Issues with version compatibility.
- No as many big cons yet, this tool is superb.
- No cons in support as well, it's just good.
Likelihood to Recommend
CodeStream is well suited for all developments where two or more people are developing something and I feel there's rarely any project which is been developed and maintained by a single developer. So in short codestream is suitable for almost every development team:
- More than one person is developing the code.
- People need to get frequent reviews for efficient development.
- Best suitable for the teams where new people are there very often.
- Collaborations are part of every day to day activities.
- Without raising PR and branch management reviews are been incorporated.
