Good Code Reviews

[J Stewart]

Our group has been doing code reviews forever, but recently we've had some debates about how to get the most from a code review. Questions have surfaced about who to assign as reviewers, what types of issues to raise in reviews and what not to raise, etc. So, I'm looking for a recommendation for a good book on code reviews. I know there are lots of opinions out there, so there are probably tons of books out there to sell those opinions. Any recommendations?

Also, we use Atlassian's Crucible for our reviews, but have found it lacking in just a few areas. Overall it's great compared to getting a meeting room and a projector or code printouts. Any suggestions on other web-based code review apps to consider?

Based in my experience using eclipse, there are certain level of code review. In programmer level before submitting the code to group for code review, I used the following eclipse plugin: CheckStyle for coding standard practice, CPD for detecting duplicate codes, Coverclipse for testing the code and Metrics for code tuning. In team level, try TeamReview TFS, it works even if your member is in different location. By the way, have you tried Spring Insight in tcServer? You can use it to measure performance if you're code is for web application.
