SCRUB: a tool for code reviews

This paper describes a tool called Source Code Review User Browser (SCRUB) that was developed to support a more effective and tool-based code review process. The tool was designed to support a large team-based software development effort of mission critical software at JPL, but can also be used for individual software development on small projects. The tool combines classic peer code review with machine-generated analyses from a customizable range of source code analyzers. All reports, whether generated by humans or by background tools, are accessed through a single uniform interface provided by SCRUB.
