Code review is a key step during the software development process — it’s when people check a program by viewing and reading parts of the source code. But despite its importance, not all developers are pleased with the way traditional code reviews work. Pulse aims to help in this process.”

A defective software development process, for instance, may appear to be reducing the overall number of bugs reaching the users, but the driving cause of the decreases might just be the throttling of the development effort.
