We are looking at having code reviews here - one of the benefits that I don't remember being stated in this thread is that another set of eyes may be able to suggest newer techniques - implied in this post, I see.

We don't have a huge group here, we shall see if this actually happens. I know that I do appreciate someone else being a blank wall for my thinking at times.

Thanks everyone for their input. I see the majority here are smaller shops
it or one man consulting firms so I can see why there are not any code
reviews needed. Our needs are a little different however.

We are implementing coding standards in our shop and will be enforcing
those standards with regular code reviews. Our shop has 30+ RPG
developers, each with their own styles and techniques varying from
techniques considered old 15 years ago to some guys counting the days
until 7.1 gets installed to get DB2 ALIAS in externally described data
structures.

We have ever expanding presentation technologies that our business logic
in RPG must be able to support. If we do not have code reviews, we will
continue to see business logic tied up in interactive programs and not
pulled out to service programs for reuse from other interactive
applications, web pages, web services, stored procedures, desktop
applications, etc...

Modernizing a shop this size without code reviews and shop standards for
techniques and syntax styling would be impossible (as we have shown over
the years).

Haven't even heard formal code reviews mentioned since the early 80's.

We have talked about doing it but the idea never seems to get much
traction.

I take it no one here does code reviews in their shop?

How does your shop implement code reviews for ensuring quality and
enforcing coding standards?

Do you have software to manage the process and what are the metrics that
you collect?
