Intent

Avoid development errors and bugs.

Motivation

Peer review is a well known quality assurance technique in software development. Actively performing peer review helps to improve quality, find defects and transfer knowledge between team members.

Applicability

Training scripts should always be peer reviewed.

Description

Errors and bugs can easily slip in the code during development. In order to enhance code quality, techniques from standard programming – such as peer review – can also be applied to machine learning code.

Peer review is a well known technique, in which members of the team review the code between themselves. This technique is known to help to:

  • avoid errors,
  • ease debugging,
  • ease incident response,
  • enhance knowledge transfer within the team.

Whenever possible, use a collaborative software development platform (e.g. Github), which already has mature features for peer review.
