kódáttekintéses

kódáttekintéses is a Hungarian term that translates to "code review" or "code inspection" in English. It refers to a systematic examination of computer source code by individuals other than the original author. The primary goal of a kódáttekintéses is to identify and correct defects early in the software development lifecycle, improve code quality, and ensure adherence to coding standards and best practices.

During a kódáttekintéses, one or more developers carefully read through the code, looking for issues such as bugs, logic errors, security vulnerabilities, performance bottlenecks, and deviations from established coding conventions. This process can be performed manually or with the assistance of automated tools. Manual reviews often involve discussions between the reviewer and the author to clarify intent and resolve any discrepancies.

The benefits of implementing kódáttekintéses are numerous. It helps reduce the cost of fixing bugs by catching them before they are integrated into larger codebases or deployed to production. It also fosters knowledge sharing within a development team, as reviewers gain insights into different parts of the project and authors receive constructive feedback. Furthermore, regular code reviews contribute to a more maintainable and understandable codebase, making future development and debugging efforts easier. The practice is a cornerstone of many agile development methodologies and is widely adopted in professional software engineering.
