Code review tools to work with SCCS?

Possible Duplicate:
Best tools for code reviews

Hi All,

I want a code review tool , that is simple to use , nothing fancy and must be able to pull source or integrate with SCCS.

Could be web based or a desktop client.

I will be using this on linux. AIX would be preferable.

Code i will be reviewing is perl, but that shouldn't matter.

Is there such a tool.

Also it must be simple to install, none of that python/perl/CGI/java open source crap. I m just too tired of downloading the dependencies to install a simple web app.

Both FishEye and Crucible are well regarded tools to assist with code reviews.

I tried this..did not work. I couldn't see the file contents..to put in my review comments..this tool is fail..how can it be well regarded..

someguy 2009-09-16 09:51:37

What IDE are you using? If you are using eclipse, Jupiter is a nice plug-in for it.

Crucible - it is considered to be very good but it is also quite expensive
smartBear Code Collaborator - the next best thing (also not cheap)
Rietveld

None of these support SCCS directly but Crucible could be extended using its plugins and so do others

But really please look here: Question with quite a lot of good answers

does Crucible work with SCCS?

someguy 2009-09-15 08:50:18

not directly (what does) but look here (https://plugins.atlassian.com/search/by/crucible) - you could review changes to the file system, you could create your own plugin to work with sccs natively etc. At the end of the day, CLI for SCCS is not THAT different from some of the other source control tools

I tried crucible and like u said i added a file system SCM repository But when i actually when to do the review , even after adding file to review , I couldn't see the contents of the file to actully review..This tool is a FAIL!!!!

someguy 2009-09-16 09:50:50

@IIlya, yes i found the problem. My project involves a lot of perl module..which crucible does not support..hence i could not view.

someguy 2009-09-16 10:43:41

@someguy: that it strange, FishEye does support Perl

Ilya Kochetov 2009-09-19 15:21:16

@someguy: what was the problem? if the perl module was just a text file, it should show up. If the syntax highlighting was wrong - that might be because the extension .pm is not recognized. But you could edit a file under the installed directory `syntax/filename.map` and map the extension to perl - perl syntax highlighting in fisheye and crucible is supported.

Smart Bear Software has Code Collaborator.

You may be asking a lot to find something that runs natively on AIX.

Greg Hewgill 2009-09-15 08:18:59

I managed to install it but couldn't get the trial license to use it.

someguy 2009-09-15 08:20:30

Smart Bear has great support, I'm sure they would be happy to help.

Greg Hewgill 2009-09-15 08:22:45

@Greg, I did contact them for the trial license..but no response..Now that's great support!!

Try Review Board

DaveJohnston 2009-09-15 08:19:10

its difficult to install.

For open source projects, Google code has built in code review functionality. They do not, to my knowledge, offer support for private projects.

See info here: http://code.google.com/p/support/wiki/CodeReviews
