Deliverables are created during every software development project. This workshop studies some well-known techniques available to review these deliverables and identify defects as early as possible. Inspections are a structured way for a team to review a document. Walkthoughs are a useful means to catch errors or omissions in designs. Formal reviews are often used to approve the transition to a new phase, while informal reviews are good ways to gather input.
