A Method for Evaluation of the Performance of Requirements Inspections

Eliezer Kantorowitz, L. Arzi, Amnon Harel · 2001

A new improved model is introduced for the performance of inspectors of user requirements documents. The model, which is based on a linearity assumption employs only two non-dimensional metrics in the [0;1] interval. They characterise the error detection ability of the inspectors and their domain knowledge level. It is our experience that one learns to reason with these two metrics. The application of the model is demonstrated with an analysis of which kind of inspectors, low salaried students or experienced high salaried engineers, will perform a specified inspection most economically.
