====================
Review Bot Extension
====================

`Review Bot`_ is a tool for automating tasks on code uploaded to `Review
Board`_, and posting the results as a code review. Review Bot was built to
automate the execution of static analysis tools.

The Review Bot extension integrates Review Board with one or more
`Review Bot workers`_. It manages the configuration rules which tell Review
Bot when and how to review code, and schedules new review requests for review.
