Snippet Reviews

Snippet Reviews are a new feature of Crucible, providing ultra-lightweight, ad-hoc code reviews with zero configuration. Atlassian is listening, and some customers asked for reviews with no ceremony, permissions or red tape. Snippet Reviews are instant to create, require no SCM repository and can be reviewed by anyone.

Review Coverage report

When using Crucible with FishEye, a new Review Coverage Report is now available. A new paradigm that shows you the percentage of code that has been peer-reviewed, this report lets you easily see what parts of your codebase haven't had many eyes scanning them for a sanity check. This forms another kind of quality check for your software projects, along with unit testing and code coverage analysis.
