What is the Diff between Code Walk through & Code Review?

Answer Posted / a sameer

Code review and code walkthrough is a phase in the software
development process.

But in code review we schedule a meeting in which the
authors of code, developer of the code, and perhaps quality
assurance (QA) testers get together to review code. Meeting
time is given earlier along with code to be reviewed at that
time by moderator.

But in code walkthrough we will not schedule any meeting it
can happen at any time or can happen suddenly without any
intimation before hand. They will come to meeting room
straight away and discuss the topic.


For code review and code walkthing finding and correcting
errors at this stage is relatively inexpensive and tends to
reduce the more expensive process of handling, locating, and
fixing bugs during later stages of development or after
programs are delivered to users.

1.Reviewers read the code line by line and walkthrough might
not read line by line just a informal go through to check for:


For either code review or walkthrough these are the
following things we need to check

1. Flaws or potential flaws
2. Consistency with the overall program design
3. The quality of comments
4. Adherence to coding standards.
5. Existance, for the functionality implemented.
6. Clarity and Readability
7. Completness - e.g., User, Training, Reference, Table
Of Contents.


Code review may be especially productive for identifying
security vulnerabilities.

HOpe this might give you all answer.
