How to become a better Code Reviewer - Part 3 : How to write code review comments?

When it comes to writing code review comments do make sure that you are polite ,kind and encourage developers .

---

• Respect:

1) Be kind and helpful to the developer whose code you are reviewing.
2) Make sure that you always comment about the code and not about the developer.

---

• Explanation:

1) Always make sure to explain why you are making the comment
2) Try to give a "good/valid" example so that it would help developer to understand. It is always necessary to provide examples.

---

• Guidance:

1) Don't provide the solution or write code for developer rather provide useful information so that it is developer's responsibility to fix a change list.
2) Maintain a balance between pointing out the problems and providing a guidance.
