Abstract :
Formal code inspections have been established as an effective way to decrease the cost of software development. However, implementing formal code inspections successfully is a challenging endeavour. We propose that the use of software tools to support the inspection process can help reduce the cost of code inspections, while increasing the number of defects detected. Intelligent agents provide a suitable model for designing a set of intelligent and flexible tools
