Study Notes
Software Review
- Software review is a systematic examination of a software product.
- This process involves testing the software to ensure it meets client requirements.
- The objective is to identify and resolve errors and defects during the early stages of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).
- It involves verifying documents like requirements, system designs, codes, test plans, and test cases.
Types of Software Reviews
-
Software Peer Review: This assessment is typically conducted by the work product author and other developers.
-
Types of Peer Review:
- Code Review: A systematic examination of computer source code.
- Pair Programming: Two developers work together on code at the same platform.
- Walkthrough: The author guides other team members and interested individuals, who ask questions and identify potential defects.
- Technical Review: A team of qualified individuals assess the product for technical defects in accordance with specifications and standards.
- Inspection: Reviewers follow a defined process to locate and correct defects.
-
Types of Peer Review:
- Software Management Review: This review evaluates the work status and helps make downstream activity decisions.
- Software Audit Review: This is an external review conducted by individuals external to the development team. These "critics" assess the software and its development processes for compliance with standards and specifications.
Software Inspection
- Software inspections were developed by IBM in the 1970s, as traditional testing was insufficient for large applications.
- This method was designed to efficiently identify and remove defects in the code, ultimately improving software quality.
Software Inspection Process
- The inspection process can be adapted and revised, with a defined entry criterion to ensure only ready products are inspected.
-
Stages of the Process:
- Planning: The moderator plans the inspection.
- Overview Meeting: The author presents the work product.
- Preparation: The reviewers carefully examine the work product to identify possible defects.
- Inspection Meeting: The reviewers read the work product section by section and discuss any faults.
- Rework: The author makes the changes required based on the inspection feedback.
- Follow Up: The reviewers confirm that the changes are accurate and complete.
