+- **Code quality**: Regularly updating documentation and code comments can lead to better code quality. During the process, developers may identify potential refactorings, optimizations or inconsistencies, making the codebase more robust and maintainable.
+
+To ensure that documentation and code comments remain updated and relevant, consider the following best practices during code review:
+
+- Verify that the changes have not rendered existing documentation and code comments obsolete. If so, request that they be updated accordingly.
+- Check that any new functionality introduced is properly documented and commented.
+- Encourage the use of clear, concise language and avoid ambiguous terms that may cause confusion.
+- Encourage the adherence to established documentation and commenting standards within the team or organization.
+
+By consistently and diligently updating documentation and code comments during code review, you not only ensure that your codebase remains maintainable and robust but also nurture a collaborative and well-informed development team.

-# Use automation to speed up the code reviews (linting, sniffing etc)
+# Importance of Using Automation in Code Reviews
+
+In today's fast-paced development world, efficiency is key. One essential aspect of ensuring quality code while maintaining a quick development cycle is using automation to speed up code reviews. This can involve tools like linters, code sniffers, and automatic testing, which help to identify potential issues, enforce coding standards, and improve code consistency. This section will explain why using automation in code reviews is important:
+
+#### 1. Time Saving
+
+Manually reviewing the code can be a time-consuming process, especially in a large project with multiple developers. By automating the process, you can reduce the time spent on code reviews, catch common errors earlier, and free up developers' time for more high-value tasks.
+
+#### 2. Consistent Code Quality
+
+Automated tools ensure that the code adheres to a predefined set of rules and conventions, which makes it easier for developers to read and understand others' code. This results in a more consistent codebase while reducing the risk of introducing bugs.
+
+#### 3. Reduced Human Error
+
+Developers can sometimes miss issues while performing a manual code review due to fatigue, lack of focus, or simple oversight. Automation eliminates this risk by ensuring that the code is checked thoroughly and consistently, reducing the likelihood of human error.
+
+#### 4. Improved Collaboration
+
+Automation can serve as an additional "team member" that provides unbiased feedback, making it easier for developers to discuss and agree on coding standards. By using automation, the team can focus on more value-adding discussions and avoid arguments about coding style or trivial issues.
+
+#### 5. Faster Feedback Loop
+
+Automated tools can be set up to provide instant feedback during the development process, highlighting potential issues before they make their way into the production code. This not only improves the code quality but also speeds up the software development lifecycle by allowing developers to fix issues earlier in the process.
+
+In conclusion, using automation in code reviews is vital for maintaining a high-quality and efficient development process. By implementing tools such as linters, code sniffers, and automated testing, you can ensure a consistent, high-quality codebase while saving valuable time for developers to focus on more critical tasks.

-# Write the automated tests.
+# Write Automated Tests
+
+Writing **automated tests** is a crucial aspect of code review and overall software development. It is important for several reasons:
+
+- **Ensure Correctness**: Automated tests verify that the code behaves as expected, covering various edge cases and scenarios. This helps catch bugs and errors during the development phase itself, resulting in a more stable and reliable product.
+
+- **Prevent Regressions**: When changes are made to the codebase, automated tests ensure that existing functionality still works as intended. This reduces the chances of introducing new bugs and regressions, thereby maintaining the overall quality of the software.
+
+- **Simplify Code Reviews**: Well-written tests serve as a form of documentation, demonstrating the developer's intent and thought process. This makes it easier for the code reviewer to understand the changes and provide constructive feedback.
+
+- **Boost Development Speed**: Having a robust suite of automated tests allows developers to quickly refactor and improve the code with confidence. This accelerates the development process and facilitates the adoption of new technologies and techniques.
+
+By investing time in writing comprehensive automated tests, you not only safeguard the interests of your users but also foster a culture of quality and continuous improvement within your development team. This results in a win-win situation for everyone involved.
