Code review is often neglected but, among other things, it is a major tool for enforcing standards.

There are two types of code review: walkthrough and inspection.

Walkthrough is less formal and essentially consists of going over the lists of questions and/or possible defects provided by the participants.

Inspection, on the other hand, is more formal and consists of going over code line-by-line.
