Software For Code Reviews For Only $5! A 5-Day Offer

Code review

The SmartBear company celebrates the version 5.0 of its product CodeCollaborator and makes a great offer to sell 5 licenses of its lightweight product CodeReviewer for only $5!

This offer will be available for only 5 days: July 13-17, 2009 only.

I was very interested in the offer and made the effort to read a little more about the product. It seems to be very useful if you practice code reviews in your company. And if you don’t – you probably have problems in your code.

For $5 you don’t get the full-featured product CodeCollaborator but its “younger cousin” CodeReviewer, which has quite less features. You can see the differences between the two products here but you can easily see that features that CodeReviewer has are quite satisfying for any team that wants to improve their code writing practices and the price is totally worth it.

Don’t miss this amazing opportunity!
