Zero-defect software is the Holy Grail of all software developers. It has proved to be an elusive goal - until now. The Inspection techniques illustrated in this book have brought clear benefits in terms of lower (or even zero) defects, higher productivity, better project tracking and improved documentation. Features Clear guidelines for the introduction and refinement of inspection techniques Numerous examples of successful implementations in organizations, such as AT&T and Douglas Aircraft Case studies based on actual experience with the method at IBM, Thorn EMI, Cary Research, Sema Group, Racal Redac and Applicon
