Roles, Participants, Team Size, and Time Requirements Two major roles that need filling for a successful review are (i) a leader or moderator, and (ii) a recorder. These are shown in Figure 10.3. Some of the responsibilities of the moderator have been described. These include planning the reviews, managing the review meeting, and issuing the review report. Because of these responsibilities the moderator plays an important role; the success of the review depends on the experience and expertise of the moderator. Reviewing a software item is a tedious process and requires great attention to details. The moderator needs to be sure that all are prepared for the review and that the review meeting stays on track. Reviewers often tire and become less effective at detecting errors if the review time period is too long and the item is too complex for a single review meeting. The moderator/planner must ensure that a time period is selected that is appropriate for the size and complexity of the item under review. There is no set value for a review time period, but a rule of thumb advises that a review session should not be longer than 2 hours [3]. Review sessions can be scheduled over 2-hour time periods separated by breaks. The time allocated for a review should be adequate enough to ensure that the material under review can be adequately covered.
