Code Seeker - Tool for Peer Code Review

Code Seeker is a tool for peer code review, with this tool teams can enhance their development by working sharing their knowledge (techniques, know-how, standards, etc).
This good practice creates more integrated and confident teams.

This is a summary of how Code Seeker works

1. Login View


2. To use Code Seeker, every member needs to create a user, click "Sign Up" button


3. As you create a new account, your review list is empty

4. You can always look your code work (changes) on your local computer, Code Seeker allows you to share it with your team before you commit it


5. To publish your code work on Code Seeker you need to create a patch, most IDE's give you that functionality


6. The patch is a copy-view that you save on clipboard


7. Now go to Code Seeker and "Create a Review"


8. Set a title and a description for your code worked and paste the patch saved (Ctrl + V) on your clipboard. Remember that you shouldn't modify the patch content


9. After you complete filling in the blanks, press "Process Review"


10. Now this is your code worked view, and this can be shared with your team before you commit it


11.Green lines are piece of code you have added, and the red ones are pieces of code you have deleted. The skipping label is to avoid printing hundreds of code lines that hasn't changed.


12. By sharing the generated link (URL) of your code worked view with your team, they will be able to look at your code worked and leave comments to point out some important topics, before you commit


13. You can leave a comment on your teammate code worked just by clicking the line code where you want to leave a comment


14. Comments will be persistant and every member of the team will be able to see it, it also stores the date and the name of the person who made the comment


15. After you created a Review, when you log in again or go to your welcome page, all your reviews will be saved and listed
