I've also had to rely on these a lot while researching for changes and bug fixes, and had always appreciated good ones.<BR/>Of these tools: IntelliJ, Eclipse, svn log, and svn check-in email notifications. StarTeam's support wasn't that bad either.Tarek Abdelmaguidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11912000217230377978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2291554078837078852.post-85963966355409465612008-10-20T13:07:00.000-05:002008-10-20T13:07:00.000-05:00This is a great list of simple things you can do t...This is a great list of simple things you can do to increase code quality.<BR/><BR/>I like how you include both code review <I>and</I> automation. As much as I advocate code review (<A HREF="http://codereviewbook.com" REL="nofollow">book</A>, <A HREF="http://codecollab.com" REL="nofollow">product</A>, <A HREF="http://blog.asmartbear.com" REL="nofollow">blog</A>), Too often humans end up doing silly chores like code style cleanup.<BR/><BR/>Good check-in comments are a great one too, often overlooked. However, don't you agree that check-in comments are frequently invisible to developers? Blame tools if you want, but if the comments are invisible unless you're digging, doesn't that make them less useful than e.g. comments right in the code?<BR/><BR/>Or maybe that's just an argument for getting better support for viewing history in real time in our IDE's?<BR/><BR/>Anyway, thanks for a great, practical, post.Jason Cohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18019929086510000182noreply@blogger.com
