Peer Review
Massive scale peer review of software changes and commits is possible under the collaborative development model. This has been summarized by Raymond in what he terms Linus's Law: many eyeballs make all bugs shallow.
Many software developers and researchers who agree that collaborative development is one of the best ways to identify the most possible bugs in a program while remaining efficient. Another way that this has been stated is, “if you post it, someone will fix it,” referring to the same principle applied to source code rather than an actual program.
However, the extent that such peer review actually occurs is disputed.

Famous quotes containing the words peer and/or review:
“We often overestimate the influence of a peer group on our teenager. While the peer group is most influential in matters of taste and preference, we parents are most influential in more abiding matters of standards, beliefs, and values.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
“Americans have internalized the value that mothers of young children should be mothers first and foremost, and not paid workers. The result is that a substantial amount of confusion, ambivalence, guilt, and anxiety is experienced by working mothers. Our cultural expectations of mother and realities of female participation in the labor force are directly contradictory.”
—Ruth E. Zambrana, U.S. researcher, M. Hurst, and R.L. Hite. “The Working Mother in Contemporary Perspectives: A Review of Literature,” Pediatrics (December 1979)
