Overview
Collaborator, from SmartBear Software, is a peer review tool designed for organisations that must document their review process, such as automotive, aerospace and defence, healthcare, financial services, video games and embedded systems companies.[15] It supports review of code and of other artefacts, including documents, with custom review templates, defect tracking, reporting for process improvement, regulatory compliance features and the ability to save reviews to a zip file as an audit record.[15] Collaborator integrates with 11 source-control systems and supports GitHub pull requests, so teams can keep the code host while recording formal reviews in Collaborator.[15] SmartBear describes its plans as customisable so that buyers pay for what they need, and prices are quoted; a free trial is available.[15] The product is heavier than pull-request review and is chosen where auditable, checklist-driven review is a requirement rather than a preference.
