For engineering teams working in Bitbucket, code review is often where good intentions
meet real-world friction, the right reviewers aren’t automatically in the loop, quality issues
surface too late, and proving that a proper review actually happened can turn into a manual,
error-prone exercise. This is especially painful for mid-market and enterprise organizations
that need their review process to be not just efficient, but auditable and compliant.
Elevatic’s Developer Experience for Bitbucket solution brings these pieces together into a
single, cohesive workflow, combining automated reviewer assignment, embedded code
quality insights, and structured, auditable review steps directly inside the pull request.

The Developer Experience solution is built from two complementary Elevatic apps:

DevSensei PR Workflow Automation | Code Owners for Bitbucket Automatically assigns
the right reviewers to every pull request based on a simple, version-controlled CODEOWNERS
file – no more hunting for who’s responsible for which part of the codebase. Teams can
define Code Owners per code area or group, enforce minimum required approvals before a
merge is allowed, and keep the whole configuration auditable through version history. It’s a
natural fit for compliance frameworks like SOC2, PCI DSS, or OWASP Top 10, which call for
review by someone other than the change’s author.

Include Code Quality for Bitbucket Brings SonarQube™ analysis results directly into the
pull request and branch views, quality gate status, code and security issues, test coverage,
and duplicate code are all visible at a glance, with the ability to act on issues (resolve,
assign, mark as false positive) without leaving Bitbucket. Merge checks can block pull
requests that fail quality thresholds, and the app works with SonarQube Community,
Commercial, and SonarCloud™ editions.

Together, these apps, joined by Checklist Buddy for structured review checklists, give teams
a review process that is automated where it can be, and auditable where it needs to be.

This approach ensures that integrations remain stable even as organizations grow or adapt their processes

As engineering organizations scale, enforcing review rules by hand simply stops working.
The Developer Experience solution is designed for that reality:
● Faster merges – trivial or low-risk pull requests move through review without
unnecessary back-and-forth, while attention is focused on the changes that matter.
● Better code quality – security and quality issues are caught and visible inside the
PR, before code reaches production.
● Audit-ready compliance – reviewer assignment, approvals, and quality checks are
enforced consistently and can be traced, supporting ISO-aligned and other regulated
review processes.
● Built for scale – configuration-as-code and group-based ownership keep the setup
maintainable even across large, fast-growing repositories.

It’s a solution aimed squarely at technology, financial services, government, healthcare,
insurance, and other knowledge-intensive organizations running Bitbucket at scale –
anywhere code review needs to be both fast and defensible.
