In this session, Mesut Durukal takes us into the world of code reviews, not just as a formality but as a critical part of the test automation lifecycle. He dives into a real-world scenario from his own team, where the code review process was marred by inconsistencies. Some reviewers were too strict, creating roadblocks that delayed tasks, while others let everything slide. This talk reveals how Mesut and his team tackled these issues, balancing rigor with flexibility to create a code review culture that enhances quality without stifling progress.

Mesut doesn’t just stop at theory. He shares actionable insights, showing us both effective and ineffective examples to highlight what makes a code review impactful. Attendees will learn to spot common pitfalls, or "test smells," and gain practical tips on reviewing code with a quality-first mindset — going beyond algorithms to ensure robustness and maintainability. Ultimately, Mesut’s session underscores how code reviews can become powerful learning tools that lift the entire team’s skills and foster a shared understanding of quality.

This video is of one of the sessions presented at #Testflix - World's Leading Virtual Software Testing Conference, 2024.
