Code review

Reading a change before it moves on: which files or objects a change contains, what changed in each since an earlier version, and what a reviewer decided about each part. Comparing two versions of one object is where it starts; the review is the record kept of the decision.

Overview

Reading a change before it moves on: which objects a transport request carries, what changed in each since an earlier version, and what a reviewer decided about each part. Comparing two versions of one object is where it starts; the review is the record kept of the decision.

SAP SHIPS

ADT compares source code over time and across ABAP systems: local changes, transported versions from the revision history, and non-code repository objects, in a compare editor that can merge.

SAP's pages describe comparing and merging versions and no record of a review; how the community tools relate to the compare editor has not been assessed.

THE COMMUNITY ADDS

Community tools add what the compare editor has no place for: a saved review of a transport request with a decision on each block, such as AVE and abapOpenReview, which can also require an approved review before release; and a view of an object at a past version with per-line authorship, such as abapTimeMachine.
