  1. It would be nice to include the combo box to select projects directly in the "Code review board" panel instead of in the Visual Studio menu bar.

  2. I'd like to know what exact changesets developer included in the review and want go to changeset detail page of visual studio (just like when browsing history of file and right clicking and choosing changeset details).

    There are related work items but not changesets itself.

  3. It would be nice to be able to see all important items of all projects somewhere.
    Right now you have to change to every project in your toolbar to see whether there is something in "My reviews".

    Either show all reviews of all projects in "My reviews" or add a new filter like "All my reviews"/"My reviews (all projects)" for this.

  6. When configuring mail notifications, it's possible to use SMTP with SSL.
    Unfortunately when using self signed certificates, this will result in an error and no mail will be sent.

    => Please add another option to settings.xml to disable certificate Validation.

  7. The files under review is listed in a simple list box. I would prefer a folder view similar to the solution explorer.

  8. We use several repositories and we want to be able to create reviews including revisions/files from several repositories to one review. For now we can choose only one repo to include it to review, switching to another repo resets the list of revisions/files selected for prev. repo.

  9. Please add the ability to remove revisions from a review. If somebody adds the wrong revision, things become very confusing.

    In version 2.1 we’ve re-designed code editor markers and popup windows for comments. Now you can view a comment and change it’s status without switching to Code Review Board window.

  12. The company I am currently working for utilizes an existing code review application that provides useful metrics about how many defects are found, how quickly they are fixed, what developers are working on, etc.

    These metrics are very useful to the company and while I would very much like to be able to sell this tool because of its easy to use integration with Visual Studio, losing those metrics would be a show stopper in trying to get this software adopted. If the ability exists to show reporting and metrics about code review and usage, I might be able to…

  13. Currently there is no way to get review data out of Review Assistant. An API would allow us to build a connection between Review Assistant and Jenkins to track code reviews prior to deployment

  15. Currently its impossible to see the branch name while doing a code review. This makes it hard for the reviewer to switch to the branch to directly make changes to it.

  16. Add an ability to add a project for review from Solution Explorer. I should be able to open a project and "right-click -> Add for Code Review" on a solution.

  18. I setup a build management in TFS server and add a build checkin policy to TFS, and now every checkin has to have a successful build, otherwise you cannot checkin.

    It'd be great if we can setup a custom policy to TFS that every chekin needs to pass a code review. So, instead of developers having to shelve their changes manually and assign the shelveset to a code review, if this tool can do that automatically for you in a checkin process, that'd be super.

  19. When setting up a review, it would be great it Review Assistant can include hyperlinks to the Work Items (Bugs/Tasks) associated with the TFS changesets. These work items typically provide the context for the work done and it would be great to have easy access to read them from within the Code Review Board

  20. The documentation seems to suggest that management of users does not support Active Directory. No one wants to support management of user names and passwords when the company already has that capability.
