A technical test analyst is planning a code review for a new authentication module. The team has limited time and wants to focus on finding the most defects possible in a single session. The code is about 800 lines. What is the most effective approach for the review?

Review the entire module in one session with all reviewers

Skip the review and rely on unit testing

Divide the module into smaller chunks and review each in a separate session

Have only the author review the code for defects

How can version control integration support code reviews?

By automatically fixing defects found during the review

By providing a platform for reviewers to comment on specific lines of code

By executing the code and reporting runtime errors

By replacing the need for human reviewers
