Codestriker enables teams to perform collaborative code inspections through its web-based platform. The software facilitates efficient code review and feedback, improving code quality and reducing errors.
Codestriker is a web application that allows users to perform code reviewing online, supporting both traditional document reviews and reviewing diffs generated by a Source Code Management (SCM) system and plain unidiff patches. The application also offers integration with various SCMs and issue tracking systems, including CVS, Subversion, Clearcase, Perforce, Visual SourceSafe, and Bugzilla, with a plug-in architecture available to support other SCMs and issue tracking systems.
Using Codestriker for code reviews is beneficial in that it minimizes paper work, ensure that comments, issues, and decisions are recorded in a database, and offers a comfortable workspace for performing code inspections. The optional, highly-configurable metrics subsystem allows users to record code inspection metrics as part of their process.
The software is written in Perl and can run on all major platforms and browsers. It is available for free under the GPL license.
Configuration involves unpacking the distribution into a suitable location and editing the codestriker.conf configuration file to reflect the settings on the user's site. For UNIX distribution, the appropriate commands may include creating a directory for Codestriker, changing to that directory, extracting the Codestriker distribution from its installed location, and setting appropriate user permissions. For Windows, the Codestriker distribution can be unzipped into a suitable location under "C:\Program Files", or just "C:\Codestriker".
The codestriker.conf file is documented with examples to guide users in setting appropriate values. As the file uses Perl syntax, lines starting with a '#' indicate a comment.
