Code Review Facilitator

Elevate your code reviews with the power of real-time coverage insights. Utilize the User Story Coverage Report to identify areas lacking sufficient testing, proactively guiding reviewers towards potential blind spots.


Step-by-Step Tutorial

1. Access the User Story's / Subtask's Coverage
  • The code reviewer should open the user story or subtask in Jira and navigate to the "Coverage" tab. Note: If the tab is missing, the user story deployment isn't complete. Refer to theDeployment Guide for further details.

2. Deep Dive into Method List
  • Open the detailed coverage report to scrutinize individual methods.

  • The report is on the User Story level. Find the relevant subtask in the report and open the method list.

3. Scan the Method List
  • Quickly identify coverage gaps by looking for methods marked red (no tests) or orange (only unit tests).

  • Prioritize methods currently under review.

4. Assess Coverage
  • Use your organization's standards and testing strategy to judge if coverage is sufficient.

  • Important: Some organizations run additional tests after code review. Only assess coverage for test types already executed.

5. Address Critical Gaps
  • If critical methods lack coverage, leave comments on the pull request or discuss directly with the developer.
