Concepts

For 30 years, organizations that are serious about software quality have used the Inspection process developed by Michael Fagan. However, some organizations have left out the part that provides the true Return On Investment. Process Improvement and others have tried to “tailor” the process, leaving out key elements that provide its strength. Learn how to unleash the power of Inspections while implementing a technique that has proven to be three times more effective than testing at finding defects. Learn to use the information to make your persuasive case to management. Participate in an Inspection to experience the power of the process to find defects. Learn how to use the inspection process to find defects, create a defect database for process improvement and measure improvements in effectiveness and efficiency when developing, maintaining and purchasing software. Use Inspection techniques to improve your existing reviews and integrate into your CMM, CMMI, Six Sigma or other improvement efforts.
