See a typical code review in action?

To get introduced to Collaborator, we recommend viewing a demo to see how it works and how a typical review is done.

You can also attend a webinar (either live or recorded), where we go through a more in-depth demo and also answer your individual questions in real time!

Get started with Collaborator?

If you are new to Collaborator, we have heaps of reference materials that help you use and understand the product.

If you want to start evaluating Collaborator or get a quick start with the basics, we suggest the Getting Started guides. Getting Started with Collaborator Server helps system administrators install and configure the main Collaborator server, while Getting Started with the Collaborator Client helps developers get started conducting code reviews with Collaborator.

 System Administrators

 Developers 

We also have the User's manual that serves as a reference manual for everything you want to know about Collaborator. It is divided into sections for installation and server administration, web reviews and the web browser client, the specific integrations, and external integrations.

And if you still have questions, you can always contact us. We would be happy to assist you with any specific questions about Collaborator.

Experiment with Collaborator without installing the product?

We have a demo server waiting for you to try! The demo server is an already set up Collaborator server, so you do not have to hassle with administrating a server.

1) Visit our demo server at http://demo.smartbear.com.

2) Create a new account by supplying a login name and password of your choice under "Create a new User" and jump right into Collaborator.

Note: The demo server is publicly available to everyone. Do NOT post confidential information and/or materials.

For more detailed information on how to get started with the demo server, visit our blog entry here.

3) Read our Getting Started Guide for Developers to quickly get caught up with the basic code review steps, or explore around by clicking random links to learn by trial and error.

Make sure code reviews are worth the effort without taking too much time out of my work day to try them out?

We think code reviews are awesome, but we understand you might be skeptical. And why invest in something you are not sure of? We put together some tips on how to minimize your time evaluating the code review process. This document, Is Code Review for You?, explains how to try code review for a week, how to see if it delivers solid, measurable results for your team, and how to get your team on board.
