Review Fields The review work item documents the results of a design or code review. The review work item must include detailed information about how the design or code met standards in areas of name correctness, code relevance, extensibility, code complexity, algorithmic complexity, and code security. If the review found that the design or code needed no changes, the review work item can be closed. If minor changes or major changes are needed, the active review work item is assigned to a developer to resolve. If minor changes are needed, the developer can close the review work item directly. If major changes are needed, a second review is required and the review work item is only closed if the second review passes successfully.
