Test Driven Code Reviews | Moving from Subjective to Objective Code Reviews

Code reviews are something that is universal in any software development organization. However, if we look into the practices of code reviews, it's more or less have become as checklist which needs to be ticked to be able to move forward.
The original intention of code reviews are to make sure that the code does the right thing with desired quality, but just by looking into someone else's code, it's difficult for someone to give valuable comments apart from some cosmetic code review comments like function or variable names and others.
To overcome the limitations of the code review and to make sure that the code reviews are more objective than subjective in nature, I'm proposing what I call it as Test Drive Code Reviews or TD;CR;
The idea behind test driven code reviews is that apart from any cosmetic review comments, any functional and non-functional behaviour related comment must be validate by a unit test cases before something can be done on the same. The unit test cases may require creating Mocks, fakes & stubs.
The unit test cases armed with mocks, fakes and stubs will be able to validate the scenario of review comment. This will not only increase the viability of the code reviews, but will also make sure that the quality of the code increase.
I do hope and believe that this will help you in converting your code review process from subjective checklist to objective actionable items.
