The '' Extreme Programming '' (XP) approach includes the practice of Pair Programming , which can be argued to be code review during development. XP proponents argue that other XP practices, such as Refactoring and creating tests before even writing the code, produces code that doesn't need to be reviewed or rewritten as often and thus speeds Software Development .

There are many examples of how code review improved a project. They include
