PULL REQUEST WORKFLOW in AZURE DEVOPS - Raising a PR, Reviewing and Setting up Branch Policies

Hello Friends, Code review is an essential practice of the development life cycle. It helps improve the code quality, unify team practices, share knowledge, mentoring, etc. over a longer period of time. It helps find mistakes that are overlooked while developing and helps improve the overall quality of the software. This helps accelerate the deployment process as changes are more likely to pass through testing. Raising Pull Requests (PR) lets your team review code and give feedback on changes before merging it into the master branch. Reviewers can step through the proposed changes, leave comments, and vote to approve or reject the code.

In this video, I will show you how to raise a Pull Request (PR) in Azure DevOps, associate work items, add reviewers. I then wear the reviewer's hat and show how to add comments to the PR, raise suggestions (that can be applied directly from DevOps), and approve or reject the PR.

As a team, it is a good practice to set branch policies to ensure only reviewed code gets merged into your main development branch. I will show how to set branch policies, automatically add reviewers to the PR, and set automated builds on raising PR.
