To err is indeed human, and reviews have proved to be the most cost-effective method in use for error detection and removal. In this highly acclaimed third edition, you'll learn exactly how to implement reviews for all sorts of product and software development. The book spells out procedures to conduct walkthroughs (or peer-group reviews), inspections, and technical reviews, with extensive checklists for each type of material reviewed (including specification, design, and code reviews). Using a lively question-and-answer format, this complete reference also describes ways to avoid problems that often accompany the review process. By implementing reviews, you can spot and eliminate defects at the source — before your customers find them.
