# Review Board — The Best of Code and Document Review ![Latest Release](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/ReviewBoard) ![License](https://img.shields.io/badge/license-MIT-green.svg) ![Review Board](https://img.shields.io/badge/Review%20Board-d0e6ff?label=reviewed%20with) ![Python](https://img.shields.io/pypi/pyversions/ReviewBoard) **Website:** https://www.reviewboard.org **GitHub:** https://github.com/reviewboard/reviewboard **PyPI:** https://pypi.org/project/ReviewBoard **Status:** Under active development / released / used in production Review Board is one of the first code review products on the market, predating GitHub, and influencing much of what people come to expect today in code review and pull request processes. We began building Review Board in 2006 as a nights-and-weekends product. At the time, there wasn't any true code review product on the market that didn't cost hundreds of thousands of dollars for a team. So we built one. Over time, Review Board became one of the most widely-used products in this space. It's been used for software products, chip design, automobiles, airplanes, train parts, travel logistics software, artificial intelligence, games, and so much else. We built [Beanbag, Inc.](https://www.beanbaginc.com) to manage this, and have been running this company since 2010. The world of code review has changed and the market has largely been dominated by GitHub, but we've done a lot to help Review Board stand out, including: * Support for a very wide range of source code management solutions, including [[Git]], [[Subversion]], [[Mercurial]], [[Perforce]], [[Azure DevOps]], [[Keysight SOS]], [[Plastic SCM]], [[ClearCase]], and more. * Extension support, just like a browser. Developers can tailor the UI, add new workflows, integrate with new systems, and even build entire review UIs for any file type, text or binary. * Image review, document review, and diffing of both. * Top-tier support. We really do try (see my write-up on the [[Importance of Support]]). * Automated code review, integrating with a variety of tools and in-house workflows. We have a lot more in the pipeline, and some features we're keeping under wraps that will change how people even approach code review. ## Related Projects: ### Companion Projects: * [[Power Pack|Power Pack]] — Reports/analytics, document review, enhanced SCM support, and more * [[Review Bot]] — Automated code review solutions * [[RBTools|RBTools]] — Command line tools for Review Board ### Built Using: * [[Projects/Beanbag — JavaScript/Ink|Ink]] — Our UI component library * [[Projects/Beanbag — JavaScript/Spina|Spina]] — A modern Backbone.js foundation supporting [[TypeScript]] * [[Projects/Beanbag — Python/Django Evolution|Django Evolution]] — Database migrations evolved
