Subject: A. Porter,C. A. Toman,H. Siy,L. G. Votta An Experiment to Assess the Cost-Benefits of Code Inspections in Large Scale Software Development
Description: We are conducting a long-term experiment (in progress) to compare the costs and benefits of several different software inspection methods. These methods are being applied by professional developers to a commercial software product they are currently writing. Because the laboratory for this experiment is a live development effort, we took special care to minimize cost and risk to the project, while maximizing our ability to gather useful data. This article has several goals: (1) to describe the experiment 's design and show how we used simulation techniques to optimize it, (2) to present our preliminary results and discuss their implications for both software practitioners and researchers, and (3) to discuss how we expect to modify the experiment in order to reduce potential risks to the project. For each inspection we randomly assign 3 independent variables: (1) the number of reviewers on each inspection team (1, 2 or 4), (2) the number of teams inspecting the code unit (1 or 2), and (...
