A tailored capability model for inspection process improvement
Ilkka Tervonen, Juha Iisakka, Lasse Harjumaa · 2002
Software inspection is recognised as the most effective means of finding defects. In spite of its important role in software development, existing capability models have not addressed inspection issues or looked for inspection-related improvement activities to a sufficient extent. The inspection-tailored capability model presented provides a method for evaluating inspection process capability and supports the location of weak points in a company's inspection process. The first experiments reported are promising, and the evaluation process discovered correctly focused improvement ideas which were also agreed on by the company concerned.
