Introduction

The AIPS++ project adopted a formal procedure for quality checking code in the late summer of 1994. The procedure requires that all new core¹ source code be submitted to the ``code cop'' (email: aips2-cop@nrao.edu) before it can become sanctioned AIPS++ code. Once received, the cop assigns a reviewer, who judges the code against the AIPS++ Standards and Guidelines (note 167). A dialog between the programmer and the reviewer may follow, eventually leading to approval of the code, and its formal inclusion into AIPS++.

In this note, I discuss the review procedure

in general
from the perspective of the programmer submitting new code
from the perspective of the reviewer
with special attention to test programs
