Abstract :
Traditionally, software inspection has largely relied on collocated interaction of inspectors. As companies have begun to turn to distributed software development, meeting in a room has become impractical. In this paper we report on controlled experiment to assess the effect of synchronous and asynchronous communication in remote inspection meetings.
