Software quality through distributed code inspection
Bernard S. Doherty, Shamsul Sahibuddin · WIT transactions on information and communication technologies · 1997
In the software development process, analysing and removing identified errors in the software area provide the basis for improving software quality. In the component implementation and debugging stage, the preceding specification is codified and component testing is done to test the correctness of each component. In this stage, it is desirable to use code inspection, which is a non-execution based testing. Pagan's code inspection is a manual process and must be conducted in a face-to-face situation. The distributed code inspection groupware model will seek to provide a flexible code inspection meeting structure in which the users need not be in the same room at the same time, hence, eliminating the need for a formal meeting. The model was developed with the aim of being flexible and adaptable to changes, making it easier to model the way the user works. The distributed code inspection prototype, which is based on the model, will also be flexible and adaptable to changes.
