Product Description

Product Description
Zero-defect software is the Holy Grail of all software developers. It has proved to be an elusive goal - until now. The Inspection techniques illustrated in this book have brought clear benefits in terms of lower (or even zero) defects, higher productivity, better project tracking and improved documentation.


Features


  • Clear guidelines for the introduction and refinement of inspection techniques
  • Numerous examples of successful implementations in organizations, such as AT&T and Douglas Aircraft
  • Case studies based on actual experience with the method at IBM, Thorn EMI, Cary Research, Sema Group, Racal Redac and Applicon

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading for anyone in the software industry., 7 May 2002
By A Customer
This book has proved invaluable to me and my organisation. It provides not only clear guidelines for the successful implementation of inspection techniques, but provides substantial evidence for where inspection should and should NOT be used. Although the title of the book is 'Software Inspection', the methods described are equally applicable to any large-scale project in any industry; and while it may initially appear that inspection is a time-consuming and onerous task, Gilb's insightful text makes clear exactly how valuable it is.

If you value completing your projects on time, and with a minimum of errors, then you could do far worse than to give inspection a try.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive and readable text on Inspections, 22 Jul 1998
By A Customer
I wholeheartedly recommend this text to anyone who want to get a thorough introduction to the topic of Software Inspection. I also recommend it to those who are already practicing Inspections or even old-fashioned "Walkthroughs" or "Peer Reviews".

Everyone can learn from this book. Indeed, this is book we use when teaching Inspection at Odegard Labs.
