Code Review in Visual Studio ALM 11

Code Review is one of the new features in Visual Studio ALM 11 focused on collaboration among team members.

Everything starts with a request for review: you can add as much reviewers as you want.

Then after submitting the request, a work item is opened on behalf of me for the reviewer(s).

The reviewer can see there’s an incoming activity:

Clicking on the code file affected by the review brings up the new diffmerge (we’ll see some insights about it in a later post).
