Software Development and Project Management

Which method of reviewing design documents or source code is led by a moderator, assigns roles to the participants, is carried out formally using checklists and the like, and records the defects found and confirms their correction?

  1. AInspection
  2. BWalkthrough
  3. CRound-robin review
Show answer and explanation

Answer: A. Inspection

An inspection is the most formal type of review, in which a moderator manages everything from planning and running the meeting to confirming the fixes (follow-up). Participants prepare in advance and look for defects using checklists, and the number and types of defects found are recorded, which can be used to evaluate and improve quality. A walkthrough is led by the author, who explains the work product step by step while the participants look for errors. A round-robin review is a method in which participants take turns acting as the leader or reviewer.

  • A. Correct. It is a formal review led by a moderator that uses checklists and records of defects.
  • B. This review is led by the author explaining the content, and it is less formal than an inspection.
  • C. In this method participants take turns acting as the leader or reviewer.
