Abstract This paper quantitatively discusses the pre‐review effectiveness of software developed by novice engineers of offshore development companies in China. Pre‐review process in a Chinese offshore company is applied to the software developed by novice engineers before the test process for enhancing the quality of the software products. Based on the data collected in 2 years, the relationship between the point rate in pre‐review and the bug rate in unit test process is examined from various points of view. It becomes clear that by performing this pre‐review, the quality of the software developed by the lower level engineers can be kept at the same level of the middle level engineers.
