Well I never mentioned I was responsible for doing a review of someone else’s code in a language I don’t know. That would be foolish. There are plenty of open source projects that have lack luster documentation. Reading the code is really the only way to figure out how it works sometimes.
So really what you do is guess what the code you read is doing. Which is generally fine.
But how can you be sure in a review that the code will actually work? How can you falsify it? A review is more than just reading code.
