The problem is that developers don't get promoted for reviewing code. If you want good code review in a corporate environment, you cannot leave it to developers, you need to have a dedicated QA team. OSS contributions are more complicated (in theory people care a bit more about the quality of the resulting software rather than being recognized), but even then reviewing will never be as fun as developing for the vast majority of contributors, burning out those who are willing to.
- sahila 4y agoDedicated qa doesn't absolve the responsibility of code reviewers which devs absolutely need to be involved with. Code review is as much about functionality as it is about code design and extensibility.
- bornfreddy 4y agoDoes the QA team do code reviews where you work, or do they just test the behavior of the app? In all the places I know QA only does black box testing.
