The Right Depth for Every PR: Introducing Review Effort Modes
Blog post from Qodo
Qodo's new Review Effort Modes, currently in research preview, offer a dynamic approach to software code reviews by matching the depth and scrutiny of each review to the complexity and risk associated with different changes. These modes range from "Fast," which provides a quick, cost-efficient review for minor changes, to "Deep," which applies multi-pass analysis for complex alterations, with "Balanced" serving as the default mode for typical tasks. The "Auto" mode intelligently directs pull requests to the appropriate review tier based on the nature of the changes, ensuring efficient resource use without compromising review quality. This system aims to optimize the balance between review quality, speed, and cost, adapting to the evolving landscape of AI-driven code changes by allowing platform teams to set policies that reflect their specific operational needs. Through the research preview, Qodo is testing the effectiveness of these modes across various codebases to refine their routing policies and ensure consistent and appropriate review decisions.
