Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention disclose a method, computer program product, and computer system for managing reviews of a computing file. The method includes a computer receiving a computing file, the computing file containing software program functions. The computing system receives a list of one or more reviewers to review the computing file. The computer parses the computing file by function. The computer receives an assignment of at least one of the one or more reviewers to at least one function within the computing file. The computer sends a request to review the computing file to the at least one of the one or more reviewers assigned.

Claims

1. A method for managing reviews of a computing file, the method comprising:

a computer receiving a computing file, the computing file containing software program functions;

the computer receiving a list of one or more reviewers to review the computing file;

the computer parsing the computing file by function;

the computer receiving an assignment of at least one of the one or more reviewers to at least one function within the computing file; and

the computer sending a request to review the computing file to the at least one of the one or more reviewers assigned.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising, wherein the received computing file contains text file lines:

the computer parsing the computing file by line; and

the computer receiving an assignment of at least one of the one or more reviewers to at least one line within the computing file.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising the computer filtering the computing file, the filtering including linking a reviewer name to a function in the file.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the computer sending a request to review the computing file to the at least one of the one or more reviewers assigned further comprises the computer sending an electronic communication to the at least one of the one or more reviewers, the electronic communication identifying the at least one function assigned to the reviewer.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the electronic communication includes one or more of:

an e-mail, an instant message or a text message.

6. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

creating a record, the record including one or more of;

reviewer name, reviewer electronic identification, file name, and file identification; and

responsive to receiving an assignment of at least one of the one or more reviewers to at least one function within the computing file, updating the record.

7. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving reviewer comments, the reviewer comments identified by one or more of;

reviewer name, reviewer identification, file name, function, line, date or time.

8. A computer program product for managing reviews of a computing file, the computer program product comprising:

one or more computer-readable storage media and program instructions stored on the one or more computer-readable storage media, the program instructions comprising;

program instructions to receive a computing file, the computing file containing software program functions;

program instructions to receive a list of one or more reviewers to review the computing file;

program instructions to parse the computing file by function;

program instructions to receive an assignment of at least one of the one or more reviewers to at least one function within the computing file; and

program instructions to send a request to review the computing file to the at least one of the one or more reviewers assigned.

9. The computer program product of claim 8, further comprising, wherein the received computing file contains text file lines;

program instructions to parse the computing file by line; and

program instructions to receive an assignment of at least one of the one or more reviewers to at least one line within the computing file.

10. The computer program product of claim 8, further comprising program instructions to filter the computing file, the program instructions including linking a reviewer name to a function in the file.

11. The computer program product of claim 8, wherein the program instructions to send a request to review the computing file to the at least one of the one or more reviewers assigned further comprise program instructions to send an electronic communication to the at least one of the one or more reviewers, the electronic communication identifying the at least one function assigned to the reviewer.

12. The computer program product of claim 11, wherein the electronic communication includes one or more of:

an e-mail, an instant message or a text message.

13. The computer program product of claim 8, further comprising:

program instructions to create a record, the record including one or more of;

reviewer name, reviewer electronic identification, file name, and file identification; and

responsive to receiving an assignment of at least one of the one or more reviewers to at least one function within the computing file, program instructions to update the record.

14. The computer product of claim 8, further comprising program instructions to receive reviewer comments, the reviewer comments identified by one or more of:

reviewer name, reviewer identification, file name, function, line, date or time.

15. A computer system for managing reviews of a computing file, the computer system comprising:

one or more computer processors;

one or more computer-readable storage media;

program instructions stored on the computer-readable storage media for execution by at least one of the one or more processors, the program instructions comprising;

program instructions to receive a computing file, the computing file containing software program functions;

program instructions to receive a list of one or more reviewers to review the computing file;

program instructions to parse the computing file by function;

program instructions to receive an assignment of at least one of the one or more reviewers to at least one function within the computing file; and

program instructions to send a request to review the computing file to the at least one of the one or more reviewers assigned.

16. The computer system of claim 15, further comprising, wherein the received computing file contains text file lines;

program instructions to parse the computing file by line; and

program instructions to receive an assignment of at least one of the one or more reviewers to at least one line within the computing file.

17. The computer system of claim 15, further comprising program instructions to filter the computing file, the program instructions including linking a reviewer name to a function in the file.

18. The computer system of claim 15, wherein the program instructions to send a request to review the computing file to the at least one of the one or more reviewers assigned further comprise program instructions to send an electronic communication to the at least one of the one or more reviewers, the electronic communication identifying the at least one function assigned to the reviewer.

19. The computer system of claim 15, further comprising:

program instructions to create a record, the record including one or more of;

reviewer name, reviewer electronic identification, file name, and file identification; and

responsive to receiving an assignment of at least one of the one or more reviewers to at least one function within the computing file, program instructions to update the record.
