Uipath Code review checklist

Code Structure

  • Check if variables, activities, and workflows follow the naming conventions specified by UiPath
  • Ensure that naming is descriptive and follows a consistent pattern
  • Organize the code into logical sections and group related activities together
  • Use proper indentation and whitespace to improve readability
  • Include comments to explain complex logic or to provide context for certain actions
  • Ensure that comments are clear, concise, and up-to-date
  • Break down the code into reusable components or activities that can be used in multiple workflows
  • Avoid hardcoding values and parameters to improve flexibility
  • Identify duplicated code blocks and extract them into separate functions or workflows
  • Use arguments or variables to pass data instead of duplicating it
  • Adhere to a consistent coding style guide to maintain uniformity across the project
  • Use proper naming conventions, indentation, and spacing consistently
  • Include detailed explanations for each workflow, activity, and complex logic
  • Document input/output parameters, dependencies, and expected behavior
  • Identify common code smells such as long methods, excessive nesting, or tight coupling
  • Refactor code to improve readability, maintainability, and performance

Functionality

  • Review the project requirements document
  • Run test cases to validate the code functionality
  • Check for try-catch blocks
  • Ensure proper exception handling
  • Review variable naming and usage
  • Check for unused variables
  • Consider code comments for clarity
  • Check for consistent coding style
  • Review conditional statements
  • Use debugging tools to identify issues
  • Compare output to expected results
  • Run test cases with different inputs
  • Check for proper library imports
  • Ensure compatibility with external resources
  • Consider boundary cases
  • Run tests with invalid inputs
  • Check for adherence to design patterns
  • Ensure code is optimized and efficient

Performance

Security

Documentation

Testing

  • Test the code on different operating systems like Windows, Linux, and macOS
  • Verify the code on different browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, and Safari
  • Run all test cases including positive, negative, and edge cases
  • Ensure that the code meets the expected outcomes for each test case
  • Perform manual testing to identify any bugs or issues
  • Utilize testing tools like Selenium or JUnit to automate testing procedures
  • Re-run all previous test cases to check for any regression issues
  • Verify that existing features still work as expected after new code changes
  • Simulate high traffic scenarios to evaluate the code's performance
  • Analyze response times and system resource utilization under heavy loads
  • Test each function or method independently to ensure they work as intended
  • Use testing frameworks like JUnit or NUnit to automate unit tests
  • Utilize tools like JaCoCo or Codecov to measure code coverage percentage
  • Identify and prioritize areas of code that need additional testing
  • Work with QA team to define test objectives and requirements
  • Review and incorporate feedback from QA team to improve test coverage
  • Automate repetitive test cases using tools like Jenkins or Bamboo
  • Integrate automated testing into the continuous integration pipeline for faster feedback
