- Managing Review Templates
Review templates essentially act as reminiscent checklists for reviewers during code reviews and release managers during accpetance tests.Review templates are usually compiled from common problems found during failed reviews or acceptances. You can filter them out on relevant history screen.
Review template is a custom fill-in form with criteria on the rows and possible values in columns. Both criteria and possible values are user-definable. The review templates are different for every project; change review templates are further separated by change reason. For example, a review template criterias could be “All tasks are postchecked”, “Testcases are passed” and “Helpfiles are updated” with values “yes” and “no” .
The template has to be filled in when ending review or acceptance, assuming a relevant template has been defined. Negative answers on a review template do not prohibit failing the review/acceptance, nor do positive answers force passing it.
