Developer Productivity Highlights

Our focus this year was on enhancing developer productivity with several significant updates:

Code Owners for Bitbucket:

  • In the face of prolonged pull request durations, the risk of delayed customer feedback and persistent merge conflicts from longer-lived branches is a significant concern. To address this, we're adding the branching strategy Ship/Show/Ask. This approach combines the benefits of swift feature deployment with the collaborative aspects of pull requests. Our DevSensei Auto-Merge feature, integrated into Code Owners, leverages this strategy to enhance overall productivity. With Ship/Show/Ask, you can rapidly deploy low-risk changes (SHIP), showcase intriguing updates to colleagues (SHOW), and solicit feedback as needed (ASK).

  • We've introduced Draft PRs to facilitate the early initiation of pull requests, even when they are still in a work-in-progress state. This feature enables you to start discussions with your team members sooner, fostering early engagement and collaboration.

  • Our new feature, Random Assignment, is designed to streamline the review process. By reducing the number of Code Owners automatically assigned to each pull request, it minimizes notifications and alleviates reviewer fatigue, leading to a more efficient workflow.

Code Review Assistant for Bitbucket:

To ease the workload of Pull Request Authors, we now support AI-generated Pull Request Titles and Description. This feature lessens the cognitive burden when opening a Pull Request. Furthermore, reviewers can interact directly with Large Language Models (LLMs) within the pull request interface, posing questions about the code, such as identifying potential security issues.

Pull Request Checklist Buddy for Bitbucket:

  • We've introduced new checklist filters, e.g. to allow file-specific checklists like --put-on-files RELEASESNOTES.md +task+ Release notes updated with new features? and commit filters to only add checklists for matching commits: --commit-title [WIP] +task+ Clean up commits before merging

  • Enhancing the utility of checklists, we added shareable checklists for Bitbucket projects to allow sharing checklists across repositories.
