ReviewAssistant for Gerrit Code Review

Note that ReviewAssistant is developed against Gerrit v2.10-rc0. At this time, no other versions are supported.

ReviewAssistant is a plugin for Gerrit Code Review. ReviewAssistant gives advice to reviewers on how the review should be performed to be as effective as possible. The review time suggestions are based on the following rules:

  • No review should be shorter than 5 minutes.
  • Five lines per minute is considered to be the optimum review speed.
  • Reviewers should not spend more than 60 minutes reviewing. If the review is expected to take longer, it is recommended to split the review into several sessions.

ReviewAssistant is also capable of adding reviewers automatically, based on:

  • Git blame
  • Submit history - Users with merge rights.
  • Open changes - Users with more open changes are less likely to be chosen as reviewer.
