Software Defect Management Using a Comprehensive Software Inspection Model

Traditional inspection approaches that are used for more than three decades are not effective for current software and development processes. The studies and experiments by testing and inspection professionals showed that customizing inspections can increase their effectiveness as well as efficiency. The comprehensive software inspection model in this article performs defect removal actions as an important duty of inspection, as well as, using the capabilities of collaborative and knowledge base systems. The process improvement is continuously in progress by creating swap iteration in inspection model kernel. In order to validate the model, it is implemented in a real software inspection project. The varieties of detected and removed defects show the potential performance of the model.
