Definition: A Peer review is a method of checking code in a company, usually before it is checked in to a Version Control System. This is usually done by a more experienced developer who is verifying that the code is up to standard. This might include checking that it conforms to the company Style Guide and that there are no obvious errors like forgetting to return values from functions etc.
If there are any problems then the coder must fix them. This guarantees that the code that is checked in is of a minimum standard and obvious bugs and bad code layout are excluded from the main code repository.
