A newly developed PR review bot operates by reading pull requests, examining code diffs, and scoring the associated risk. Low-risk PRs are automatically approved, while medium and high-risk PRs are escalated for human review. The bot also publishes evidence for its risk assessments and notifies teams in Slack about the review status.
“If it's low risk, if it's assessed that it's a low risk PR, it submits an approval on the PR.”
“if it needs a human, it escalates to human. And if there's a blocking requirement, then it stops.”
“And then one fun thing that it does is after it does that review, it pings my colleague and I in Slack to say, this PR is ready for review or it needs some help.”
