Thanks for the feedback! How would you call it? Static analysis? Linting? Code linting seemed too be a very specific and not widely known term for us while most people seem to know what "code review" means, hence our decision to call it "automated code review".

Well, unless I've missed something, it is by definition static analysis -- so that's probably a good start. The way I look at it is that every minute you spend discussing a point in a review that could have been caught/corrected by a static tool is a minute wasted. But these tools can't do any of the actual work of the review. By the way, linting is a fairly well known term with a long history, but it wouldn't surprise me if there are communities that don't know the term.
