Analysis of inspection technique performance

Inspection techniques are strategies for analysing software artefacts. These techniques provide guidelines for examining the software documentation and identifying defects. These guidelines consist of a series of heuristics to help reviewers to read and understand the artefact that they are analysing. A number of researchers have now developed experimental studies to compare the performance of the different techniques in an attempt to find out what is the best strategy to adopt in which cases. In this work, we conduct a systematic review of the effectiveness and efficiency of inspection techniques following Kitchenham’s recommendations.
