2005-07-16Software Inspection's Lonely AdherentsACM News Service: Software Under Scrutiny. I was amazed to see a blurb that features software inspections as something that has not penetrated practice very much. Sue Bushell’s 2005-07-07 CIO Australia article confirms that to be the case, with great explanation for how inspections can be tied to demonstrable reduction of software-development costs. The article clarifies the resistance to inspections and also describes the importance of inspection, the common methodology in almost every software process improvement methodology. There are some useful principles as well as an assertion by Karl Wiegers that one of the greatest payoff is in inspection of requirements, about as up-front in the software-development stages as you can get. An intriguing factor with regard to inspections is that the payoff approaches 1:1 (break-even) as the development processes become more successful at not having defects in the first place. This may lead management to want to abandon them. It becomes important to have clear understanding of what the phenomenon is.
