description: "Learn how long your open merge requests have spent in code review, and what distinguishes the longest-running." # Up to ~200 chars long. They will be displayed in Google Search snippets. It may help to write the page intro first, and then reuse it here.
Code Review Analytics displays a table of open merge requests, which are considered to be in code review.
Code review starts when a merge request receives its first comment from someone other than the author.
The Code Review Analytics table:
- Is sorted by review time, so the longest reviews appear at the top.
- Has columns to display the author, approvers, comment count, and line -/+ counts.
This feature is designed for [development team leaders](https://about.gitlab.com/handbook/marketing/product-marketing/roles-personas/#delaney-development-team-lead)
and others who want to understand broad code review dynamics, and identify patterns to help explain them.
