Abstract :
If we´re going to have a column about evidence in software engineering, we´re going to need to talk about inspections sooner or later. Inspections are among the most mature and perhaps best-studied practices in software engineering. In short, software inspection was one of those rare software engineering innovations that had the ability to effect real process change.
