Please do not be confused by the high-sounding name, Code Walk Through! Let us look at it in a much simpler way. Code walkthrough is in reality a technical code walkthrough or a peer code review. In Code Walk Through, what really happens is that the developer goes through the codes written by him step by step. The typical code walkthrough takes place when a developer asks his technical lead, a database administrator, and one or more peers to a meeting to review a set of source modules prior to production implementation.
A code walkthrough is an effective tool in the areas of quality assurance and education. If this is to be made simpler, then you will have to cite the example of any creative work or art, where you get somebody to make critical evaluation and suggest improvements. Here in the case of Code Walk Through, the developer is exposed to alternate methods and processes as the technical lead and database administrator suggest and discuss improvements to the code. The technical lead is assured of an acceptable level of quality and the database administrator is assured of an acceptable level of database performance.
The result is better performance of the developer, his programs, and the entire application. Code walkthroughs help to improve the performance of applications and developers. The code walk through must be conducted by a peer review team of the developers for different modules before the release of the code for testing. Code walkthroughs is conducted to ensure coding standards, logical functionality of the codes of all modules. The project members would be supervising the code walkthrough and the developers must fix the bugs and errors as they are detected. See, it is simple! The developer writes the code, his peers take it apart and suggest improvements and the developer rectifies the bugs and errors.
