Overview
Review Board is an open-source web-based tool for code review, image review and document review, developed by Beanbag. Developers post changes for review from the command line using RBTools, a set of command-line tools and a Python API, and the companion RB Gateway manages Git and Mercurial repositories inside a company network.[17] The core product is free to self-host. Commercial add-ons include Power Pack, which adds enterprise integrations, reports and enhanced document review and can be tried for 60 days, and RBCommons, a hosted Review Board service.[17] Review Board appeals to teams that need review across mixed version-control systems or want to review documents and images in the same tool as code, and to organisations that prefer self-hosted open-source software. Its interface and integrations are less extensive than those of the major code hosts, and it has no built-in AI reviewer.
