Visual Studio 2012 and Team Foundation Server 2012 introduce the feature called code review workflow and allow developers to request and perform code reviews using Team Explorer. A code review task also behaves as a work item and can be assigned to one or more developers as a review request(s).
The reviewer can accept or decline the review, and respond to any messages or queries associated with the code review, add annotations and more.
Once the code reviewer finished reviewing the code, he can assign it back to the requester. Visual Studio 2012 displays the code by using a “Diff” format, showing the original code and the changes made by the developer requesting the review. This feature enables the reviewer to quickly understand the scope of the changes and work more efficiently.
