Coding & Software AI
Code review
Inspecting code for bugs, quality issues, security problems, or maintainability concerns.
Example
An automated review flags a missing authorization check before a pull request is merged.
Why it matters
It helps catch problems before they become part of shared software.
You'll hear it
“The code is readable, but this path skips the permission check.”
Can you control it?
Yes
Yes. You can often use or adjust code review directly when the product supports it. The available options and their effect still depend on the tool.
