In focus: Code review

DevOps culture thrives better in organizations where people collaborate more effectively. Free information flow enables better communication and breaks silos down.

One of the key development practices supporting information flow is code review. According to 2019 State of Code Review Report, more than 80% of respondents say that code review enables sharing knowledge across the team. Just shy of 70% also say that code review is an opportunity to mentor less-experienced developers.
