<p>Code reviewing software is computer <a href="/facts/Software/RP79lVSW">software</a> that helps humans find flaws in program <a href="/facts/Source_code/o9J6Jv23">source code</a> and therefore assure the quality of the source code. It can be divided into two categories: </p> <ul><li><a href="/facts/Automated_code_review/HVUkVGDt">Automated code review</a> software checks <a href="/facts/Source_code/o9J6Jv23">source code</a> against a predefined set of rules and produces reports. <ul><li>Different types of browsers visualise software structure and help humans better understand its structure. Such systems are geared more to analysis because they typically do not contain a predefined set of rules to check software against.</li></ul></li> <li><a href="/facts/List_of_tools_for_code_review/KWf4dJno">Manual code review tools</a> allow people to collaboratively inspect and discuss changes, storing the history of the process for future reference.</li></ul>
