code review standards...
Recently I had a bunch of code to check into our source depot, but I'm told that before checking anything in, it ALWAYS must be reviewed. So I sent an e-mail to my team asking for someone to review the code.
2 days have gone by and not a single person volunteered...which I feel is horrible. I mean, it really doesn't take much to step up to the plate and review some code, I do it whenever I get the chance so why can't they? So I went and talked to my boss about it. I told him we really need to get a process in place to get code reviewed in a timely manor. His answer was that I should just go into on of my teammates office and ask them to do it, rather than sending an e-mail.
I disagree with this method because you can't just expect people to drop whatever they are doing and review your code right then and there...so I told him this, and he pushed the question back on me...asked me how I thought we should do it.
Honestly I don't know. I'm still pretty new to the coding game and not sure what would be the best practice for this, so I thought I'd ask here. Anyone have some code review standards they could share?
