	Software Inspections
		Software Inspections are a disciplined engineering practice for detecting and correcting defects in software artifacts, and preventing their leakage into field operations.
		Software Inspections were introduced in the 1970s at IBM, which pioneered their early adoption and later evolution [Fagan 76].
		Software Inspections are a rigorous form of peer reviews, a Key Process Area (kpa) of the CMM [Paulk 95], [Humphrey 89].

	Software inspection - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An inspection is one of the most common sorts of review practices found in software projects.
		A code review is a special kind of inspection in which the team examines a sample of code and fixes any defects in it.
		Software inspections are the most rigorous form of Peer Reviews and fully utilize these elements in detecting defects.

	Software Magazine - Inspection Gadgets
		Automated inspection is the process of performing in-depth, code-level analysis of an application by using automated tools and processes to review up to 100% of the source code.
		Code inspection can be instrumental in the application development life cycle because it can find defects that testing misses, without requiring the use of test cases.
		Inspection results are stored in a proprietary information repository, which can be employed in automated re-inspections.

	Software Inspection
		The inspection as decribed in the IEEE standard is basically the same as the Fagan Inspection, as invented and described by Michael Fagan in 1976.
		Formalism in a way guarantees that the inspection meetings are performed in the intended way and by this it may be implied that the quality of the inspection has a certain standard, but that's all.
		Although the inspection has to follow a specification the inspector is obliged to apply his expert knowledge and also report anomalies which may not be covered by the specification.

	Improving Quality Through Software Inspections
		Software inspections and their cousins, reviews and walkthroughs, are proven techniques for reducing the number of defects in a program before it goes out the door.
		Data from inspection summary reports can be used to identify the most common or most costly kinds of bugs, determine their root causes, and change how work is performed so as to prevent those types of errors.
		Software managers should receive inspection training also, so they can appreciate the value of the process and understand the importance of allocating time in the schedules for people to participate in inspections of other developers' work products.

	The Software Inspection Process
		This is not the case since inspections must be carefully planned and individuals of the inspection team must be coordinated to accomplish their common goal.
		The overall goal of the Software Inspection Planning Stage is to have the inspection process be as effective and efficient as possible.
		The inspection defect list is used to guide the Author in the rework and is used in latter stages of the inspection process to verify that all the defects identified in the inspection meeting were corrected.

	Methods & Tools Articles Archives in HTML
		Inspections have continued to provide a quick return on investment and perhaps one of the quickest for all the methods and processes available to the software practitioner.
		If the software managers and software engineers in the organization do not believe that the process will work, then there is a good chance that they will fulfill their expectations.
		Inspections enable us to remove defects early in the software life cycle, and it is always cheaper to remove defects earlier than later in the software life cycle.

	3D Inspection Systems - Home Inspection Software
		With the use of digital cameras and computers now in the main stream of America, home inspectors are able to produce incredible home inspection reports documenting the conditions of the homes they inspect.
		I then take the home inspection report from the Pocket PC and transfer it easily to the laptop and finish the home inspection reporting by going from room to room and component by component.
		This proprietary home inspection reporting format is then converted to a PDF file, which is a format that almost every modern computer user can open and read using the free Adobe® Acrobat Reader® software.

	Software Inspection Review
		The fact that Inspections have survived in the face of universal dislike for over two decades must be proof of their value." Something so disliked, and yet so valued, is worth knowing about.
		Inspections (with the capital 'I') are at one end of a continuum of formality and public accountability.
		Their description of software development is reminiscent of transformational grammars in linguistics.

	Inspection
		Software inspections are in-process technical reviews of software artifacts (e.g., requirements, designs, code, test plans) for the purpose of finding and eliminating defects [1].
		Although inspection has proven to be effective at finding defects early in product development [2], many defects inevitably go undiscovered.
		Inspections, with their distribution of materials, travel, and meetings, cause delays that significantly lengthen the development interval.

	Software Inspection
		Inspection is distinguished from reviews and walkthroughs by its formal approach to five aspects:
		Additionally, while reviews and walkthroughs concentrate solely on "defect detection" within the document being dealt with, inspection provides explicit formal mechanisms for "defect prevention" via improvement of processes and of personal skills.
		Note that there are around twenty variants of what may properly be called "Inspection", of which Fagan Style Software* Inspection* is one.
