Poor quality costs more in the long run.
Software Inspections Workshop Inspections are formal evaluation techniques in which software requirements, design, or code are examined in detail by a person or group other than the author to detect faults, violations of development standards, and other problems. When you have an Inspections program in place, a common result is saving 9 hours down stream for every major defect found. The overriding responsibility of the Inspection Moderator is to facilitate finding major defects in the software under inspection. All moderator actions are directly or indirectly focused on finding defects and passing on a product of known quality to the next step in the development cycle. Facilitated Inspection Process Definition Workshop Inspections can provide you with direct savings by increasing net productivity and reducing timescales.
