Software Inspections and Their Role in Software Quality Assurance
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we will analyse the software inspections related published data of different successful companies. We will compare the impact of software inspections on software quality with other software quality assurance techniques like software tests etc. Our analysis will show that software inspections play the most important role in software quality assurance. We will also briefly discuss what the Software Inspections are; the benefits of Software Inspections; The team structure in a formal inspection; and the activities in an inspection process. We will also discuss the future of Software Inspections.

The Role of Inspection in Software Quality Assurance
DESPITE more than 30 years of effort to improve its quality, software is still released with many errors. Many major products are known to have thousands of bugs. It is not for lack of trying; all major software developers have a software quality assurance effort and attempt to remove bugs before release. The problem is the complexity of the code. It is very easy to review code but fail to noti...
متن کاملIntegrating inspection and test processes based on context-specific assumptions
Inspections and testing are two of the most commonly performed software quality assurance processes today. Typically, these processes are applied in isolation, which, however, fails to exploit the benefits of systematically combining and integrating them. In consequence, tests are not focused based on early defect detection data. Expected benefits of such process integration include higher defe...
متن کاملAnalyzing the relationships between inspections and testing to provide a software testing focus
Context: Quality assurance effort, especially testing effort, is frequently a major cost factor during software development. Consequently, one major goal is often to reduce testing effort. One promising way to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of software quality assurance is the use of data from early defect detection activities to provide a software testing focus. Studies indicate that...
متن کاملContext-sensitive Diagnosis of Quality Defects in Object-Oriented Software Systems
A part of software quality assurance is concerned with the diagnosis of defects, which decrease quality aspects of software systems, such as maintainability, reusability, portability, or performance. Concurrent approaches for defect diagnosis focus on post-development manual inspections of the software’s source code. The context-sensitive diagnosis of quality defects is a new approach that is b...
متن کاملA model for inspection efficiency prediction T . Cockram
While inspections are a valuable tool for software quality assurance, inspection models are labour intensive, require knowledge of all errors in a software product, make questionable assumptions, and do not capture the experience of inspectors. In this paper we describe a novel inspection model based on Bayesian belief networks that overcomes many of these problems. We describe the problems whi...
