D is important, but tools can usually detect complexity issues.

I feel C is a bit tricky. Endless loops can be found in reviews too.

True, but design is more subjective. Code reviews catch that.

But what about A? Coding standards are crucial too.

Agreed! Tools can't assess design conformance well.

I thought cyclomatic complexity could be checked statically as well?

B is definitely a big one for code reviews!

Wait, can’t some endless loops be caught by static analysis?

Totally agree, code reviews are essential for design conformance too!

A) Conformance to coding standards is usually only caught in reviews.
CO

I agree, code reviews add a layer that tools might miss.

Wait, are we saying static analysis can't find design issues? That's surprising!
AN

Not sure about that, endless loops can be caught by static analysis too.

I think A) Conformance to coding standards is also a big one.
EU

Cyclomatic complexity seems like it could be identified by static analysis, but I guess code reviews might help clarify design intentions.
WH

I practiced a similar question about defect types, and I feel like conformance to design is something that only a human reviewer would notice.
BE

I think endless loops can be caught by static analysis tools, but I'm not completely certain. I need to think more about what code reviews specifically target.

I remember that code reviews are really good for catching issues related to design and coding standards, but I'm not sure which defect type is exclusive to them.
