4.0 out of 5 stars In a worthwhile way deals more with the why than the how., 20 Oct 1999

By A Customer

Inspections are intrinsically boring. Freeman & Weinberg don't say this. Inspections are like going to the dentist. They don't say this either. No one really wants to have their work scrutinised by others, but this book puts the case very well that one should, and that one shouldn't mind. It deals sensitively with the principles to employ when reviewing the work of others and being able to continue working with them afterwards. If the culture of your organisation opposes the notion of formal techincal reviews in practice if not in principle, but its products contain defects, then this book makes a good starting point. The Gilb & Graham book on inspections is much longer and more substantive, but no one has significantly bettered the Freeman & Weinberg approach.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended., 20 May 1999

By A Customer

Written in a lively question and answer style the book covers thoroughly the philosophy and practice of group based technical reviews. I found their discussion of the relationship between effective project management and reviews to be particularly important - they emphasis that because reviews produce evidence of actual completion of a product (rather than claimed completion) they are an essential tool for assessment of milestone completion.

The question and answer style leads to some repetition. However on the positive side the answers always get to the very core of each issue. Rather than presenting prescriptive rules they clearly explain the rationale behind each technique so one can understand the contribution each makes to the objective of achieving an effective review.

Word of caution with regard to terminology - they use the term "Inspection" to mean a review where one restricts one's attention to a few selected topics. This is regrettable because their description of "Formal Technical Reviews" is very close to the "Inspection" process as described in Tom Gilb's book and in Michael Fagan's classic article in IBM System Journal. Once this is understood this book and Gilb's book on Inspection compliment each other very well.

Essential reading to anyone involved with Sotware Project Manaagement.
