Abstract:
Well-managed and documented software reviews eliminate significant percentages of total project defects—and requirement deficiencies as well. A rigorous software review process, then, is the key to shortening project durations and avoiding missed target dates—both of which dramatically contribute to a project’s success. Anyone who has ever seen a presentation of Lois’ knows “the number 1 of all of the number 1's that you want to implement in your company is the ‘inspection process.’" Come hear the specifics of why this is true. This presentation will not only cover the basics of the inspection process; but it will also introduce leading edge methods to include in your examination and review. You will learn how to ensure that the testing phase will take less than 5% of your total project time line and that every test case will work correctly the first time out.
