Customize Workflows
Customize Templates, Workflows, and Checklists
Each team and project has unique requirements. Why would the same type of review work for everything? With custom review templates and checklists in Collaborator, it is easy to build peer review frameworks that actually make sense for your team. Once you know what works, you can standardize reviews by setting rules, enforcing workflows, and viewing customizable reports.
Mark Defects
Trace Versions, Identify Defects and Bugs
Collaborator shows lines of code that have been added between versions in green, lines that have been changed in yellow, and deleted lines in red. Your team can start conversation threads about your code in the left-hand pane and mark things that need to change with a red bug icon. These can be categorized by type and severity.
Create Audits
Build Audit Trails with Automatic Reporting
Whether you are trying to drive process improvements or ace an audit, Collaborator makes it easy to pull reports on the data that you need. Easily track defect density, inspection rates, and lines covered so you know how effective your code review process actually is. When faced with an external audit, showing your work is as simple as saving your peer reviews to a zip file.
