The code review process
The normal procedure for carrying out a code review is to make sure your code compiles and meets the requirements set. It should also pass all unit tests and end-to-end tests. Once you are confident that you can compile, test, and run your code successfully, it is checked into the current working branch. Once checked in, you must issue a pull request.
A peer reviewer will then review your code and share comments and feedback. If your code passes the code review, your code review is completed, and you can merge your working branch into the main trunk. Otherwise, the peer review will be rejected, and you will be required to review your work and address the issues raised in the comments provided by your reviewer.
The following diagram shows the peer code review process:
