Self-assessment of performance in software inspection processes
Software inspection is accepted as an effective technique in the battle against defects. However, many organizations fail to maximize these benefits because, for example, the inspection team has difficulty setting exit or re-inspection criteria. This should ideally be based upon an estimate of the number of remaining defects in the source document. It is proposed that a subjective estimate of these remaining defects from individual inspectors can be an effective method for estimating the number of remaining defects, and hence it can be utilized as a mechanism to implement the exit or re-inspection decision.
