Summary

If you are involved in defining or improving software development processes or are managing software development projects and wish to fully understand inspection theory and practice, then this book is for you. Software Inspection: An Industry Best Practice presents detailed descriptions of the inspection process, explains how inspections improve software development practices, and reports on practical results that have been achieved using inspections. The book begins with a basic introduction to the software inspection process and follows with experience reports that provide examples of the use of inspection in software development or maintenance. It describes advanced use of inspection data to improve software development processes and products and provides some excellent examples of non-code inspections.
