Collaborator

Collaborator is a peer review tool from SmartBear for source code and for documents such as requirements, designs, user stories and test cases. It targets teams that need formal reviews, including those working under regulatory or safety standards.

Code reviews show changes between versions with threaded comments, and reviewers can record defects classified by type and severity. Review templates, checklists, custom fields and participant rules enforce a defined workflow. Documents in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Visio, PDF and image formats are reviewed natively. Collaborator integrates with Git, Perforce, Subversion and other version control systems, GitHub pull requests, Jira, Eclipse, Visual Studio and Microsoft Office.

Reports cover defect density, inspection rate and review coverage, and reviews can be archived for audits. Collaborator is a commercial product with a free trial.
