Towards Automating Code Review Activities

Understand

Code reviews are popular in both industrial and open source projects.

• The benefits of code reviews are widely recognized and include better code quality and lower likelihood of introducing bugs.
• However, since code review is a manual activity it comes at the cost of spending developers' time on reviewing their teammates' code.
• Our goal is to make the first step towards partially automating the code review process, thus, possibly reducing the manual costs associated with it.
