Software Inspection Process

A comprehensive guide to implementing a quality improvement method that exposes program flaws in the early stages of design and development. Using the inspection process, software engineers can resolve problems before a product moves into the more costly manufacturing and deployment phases. First a step-by-step overview of the inspection process is mapped out, then the book goes on to explore ways to integrate inspections into existing development procedures; define inspection parameters; manage the process across the scope of an entire project; select inspection data; train personnel in its use; and fine tune the technique for software, hardware, and documentation development projects.
