Review Board vs SourceLevel: What are the differences?
Developers describe Review Board as "Stress-free code review for teams of all sizes". Review Board is an open source, web-based code and document review tool built to help companies, open source projects, and other organizations keep their quality high and their bug count low. On the other hand, SourceLevel is detailed as "Metrics and Automated Code Review for Engineering Teams". It runs more than 30 different engines and supports lots of programming languages. It comments straight into pull requests the found issues, so your team can easily spot and fix them. In adittion, we show charts showing your code health, so you can follow its improvement over time.
Review Board and SourceLevel can be primarily classified as "Code Review" tools.
Review Board is an open source tool with 1.25K GitHub stars and 369 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Review Board's open source repository on GitHub.
To communicate isn’t just getting rid of syntax errors and making code work. The code should communicate ideas to people through a programming language that computers can also understand.
You should adopt semantic variables, classes, modules, and methods names. For instance, in Ruby, we avoid using particular prefixes such as is_paid, get_name and set_name. In their places, we use directly paid?, name, and name=.
My advice is to use idiomatic and features that the programming language you use offers to you whenever possible, and figure out ways to better pass the message.
Why wouldn’t we be worried about semantics, typos, and styles? We should care for the quality of our code, and the many concepts that define it. You can start by using a linter to collect some issues from your codebase automatically.
