Review Assistant is an add-on for code review for Visual Studio.The tool for reviewing code lets you create review requests and then respond to them without having to leave Visual Studio.The Devart Review Assistant can be used with TFS, Subversion, Git, Mercurial, and Perforce.

Review Assistant lets you select an easy or strict code review process in your work.Anyone who is a developer can begin post-commit code reviews for any revisions.

• The author of the code is pulled automatically from an online repository.
• Multiple code authors may be assigned to one review.
• The Moderator role is accessible within the strict procedure for reviewing code.
• One review could include codes from several repositories.
• The files that are not reviewed appear on the Code Review Board.

Code reviews are designed to improve the quality of your code base.Discussions and comments within your team constitute the core of the review process.Review Assistant allows threaded comments, which means that team members can discuss code in a way that is not scheduled for meetings.

• Make comments on specific lines of source code, code blocks, files, or the complete review.
• Flag any comments as imperfections that need to be corrected.
• Make comments regarding binary file types, like images.
• Begin discussions within the code without establishing an official code review.
• Unread comments and responses are highlighted.

Review Assistant can support multiple comment fix-verify cycles within one review.

• The author can instantly view open comments within the editor of code.
• Statuses of defects are color-coded.
• The reviewer can rewrite the review by making revisions that include changes.
• Reviewers can observe the specific changes made by an author in response to the comments.

Review Assistant offers greater Integration with TFS along with Visual Studio Online.

• Rapidly transfer TFS projects and the users in Review Assistant.
• Start pre-commit code review using shelvesets.
• Check-in policies should avoid checking-in codes that are not subject to review.
• View all changesets for the work item with just one click.
• Check out work-related items for an examination on the Code Review Board.

Create a Review Assistant server to send email notifications regarding reviews of code.The client also provides pop-up notifications in Visual Studio.

• You can choose the number of notifications you wish to be sent.
• The custom URI scheme allows the user to navigate from the email client to Visual Studio.

Review Assistant provides code review reports to help you navigate the process of reviewing code.

• The Reviews Status report gives an overview of the people who could hold up reviews.
• Code Coverage report can help you keep track of revisions that are looked over in an archive.
• A comprehensive report lets you export an overview with comments in the format of a print.

Use Review Assistant instead of Microsoft's own Code Review feature of Visual Studio. If you are required to:

• Review multiple changesets;
• Review iteratively;
• Make a rule to stop entering a code for checking in without reviewing;
• Allow formal code reviews by an administrator;
• Check out the code review statistics as well as the report.
