Abstract:
Embodiments include systems, methods, and computer program products to perform an operation for enhancing code review throughput based on separate developer and reviewer profiles. The operation generally includes receiving source code from a first user, determining a set of coding attributes associated with the first user from the first user's developer profile, and determining, for each of one or more second users, coding review attributes associated with the second user from the second user's reviewer profile. The operation further includes evaluating the coding review attributes based on a proficiency score assigned to each coding review attribute. The proficiency score for each coding review attribute indicates a proficiency of the second user in reviewing a coding attribute from the set of coding attributes. The operation further includes selecting at least one of the second users to review the first user's source code based in part on the evaluation.
