A new model for software inspection at the requirements analysis and design phases of software development

الملخص EN

Software inspection models have been remarkable development in over the past four decades, particularly in the field of automatic inspection of software codes and electronic sessions.

A small number of improvements have been made in the field of system analysis and design.

The amount of using formal inspection model which is based on single check lists and physical or electronic sessions shows the decrease in interest in it.

As inspection, in system analysis phase, is a man-cantered issue, inspectors support using electronic tools will lead to higher efficiency of the inspection process.

This paper proposes a comprehensive web-based tool aimed to accelerating the inspection process in the early phases of software development.

In order to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed tool, two case studies were conducted to inspect the artifacts from six software projects of two software companies.

Comparing the statistics related to the defects detected using this tool with those detected using the formal method shows the efficiency of the used tool.
