✔✔-Why should we conduct reviews?
A buddy check is normally thought of as an informal verification technique in which the life-cycle work
product is examined by the author and one other person. The objectives of buddy checks include:
•Improve the life-cycle work product;
•Consider alternative implementations;
•Exchange techniques and style variations;
•Point out problems with clarity and understandability;
•Allow the author to look at the life-cycle work product from a different "angle" or point of view;
•Mentoring of others in the concepts embedded in the life-cycle work product. - ✔✔-What is a buddy
check?
, Circulation reviews take on attributes of both buddy checks and walkthroughs. Circulation reviews can
be informal or follow strict rules. The life-cycle work product is circulated to each reviewer who reviews
it and either attaches comments, questions, and recommendations directly on the life-cycle work
product or places them into a separate document. The objectives of circulation reviews include:
•Improve the life-cycle work product;
•Consider alternative implementations;
•Point out problems with clarity and understandability;
•Point out areas of concern and offer comments and suggestions;
•Gain consensus from a large population of reviewers;
•Gain input from valuable contributors who cannot be present for a face-to-face review. - ✔✔-What is a
circulation review?
A technical review is a formal team evaluation of a life-cycle work product to identify any discrepancies
from specifications and standards, determine its suitability for use, and provide recommendations after
the examination of various alternatives. The objectives of technical reviews are to ensure that:
•The life-cycle work product conforms to its specifications;
•The development or maintenance of the life-cycle work product is being done according to plans,
standards, and guidelines applicable to the project;
•Changes to the life-cycle work product are properly implemented and affect only those areas of the
system identified by the change specification. - ✔✔-What is a technical review?
An inspection is a formal verification technique in which life-cycle work products are examined in detail
by a group of peers for the explicit purpose of detecting and identifying defects. The process is led by a
moderator or facilitator or inspection leader who is not the author and is impartial to the life-cycle work
product under review. The author is not allowed to act as the moderator. Written action on all major
defects is mandatory. Rework due to corrections of major defects is formally verified. Defect data is
systematically collected and stored in an inspection database. This defect data is analyzed to improve
the product, the process, and the effectiveness of the inspection process.
The objective of an inspection is to detect and identify life-cycle work product defects in a rigorous,
formal, peer examination that does the following:
