In the ever-evolving software paradigm, oftentimes multiple developers work on the shared code base collaboratively. Code management becomes challenging with the number of developers, the scope of change, the pace of delivery, etc on a shared code base. The major challenges occur during:
Code Merge
Creating Code Reviews
Performing Code Reviews
Tracking Deployment and
Debugging Issues Due to Code Changes
Irrespective of the nature of software architecture i.e. micro-service or monolith, these challenges can impact developers day to day productivity. Creating a change set in chunks of smaller and related code reviews helps in mitigating the above issues as well as encourages collaborations and ensures a healthy service. Let’s discuss the issue in detail and understand how using smaller code reviews can help mitigate these issues.
