1. Software Engineering 2 Term Project by: Feras Batarseh Nestor Rivera

2. What are the differences between Inspection and Testing? Why people at industry aren't using Inspection? How to use Inspection efficiently?

3. Assessment behind statement: “Even though several empirical studies which compare inspection more favorably than testing, it is still not as widely used as testing…”

4.  Achieve software quality greatest challenge.  Testing is most recognized technique -> no practical substitute  Testing downfall: defects uncovered late.  Among other alternatives: Software Inspections

5. Software Inspections are a disciplined engineering practice for detecting and correcting defects in software artifacts, and preventing their leakage into field operations. Software testing is any activity aimed at evaluating an attribute or capability of a program or system and determining that it meets its required results, making sure that it’s the valid system and verifying its work.

6.  Planning  Overview  Preparation  Meeting  Rework  Follow-up

7.  Author  Moderator  Reader  Recorder  Inspector

9.  Different stages -> Immediate detection  Fagan’s Study: 23% productivity improvement 38% Quality improvement  Self Regulating (feedback)

10.  Members distributed geographically  Only mature process and organization  Customer demands Personality issues  Give/ receive feedback  Severe stress  Up-front cost  Long run benefits  Tools and training

11. Virtual/Online Software Inspections: Inspection methods that eliminate meetings are at least as cost-effective as methods that rely heavily on them. The benefits of holding a meeting is less than the benefits of letting individuals work alone.

12.  Unit testing  Integration testing).  Functional testing  System testing  Acceptance testing

14. Quantitative approach Automated tool

18. Defined Testing and Inspection. Analyzed Reasons for why Inspection isn’t used enough. Looked at the future of testing and inspection and recommended new methods.

19. Thank you for listening!
