Inspections and Walkthroughs


The two primary human testing methods are code inspections and walkthroughs. Since the two methods have a lot in common, we will
discuss their similarities together here. Their differences are discussed in subsequent sections.
Inspections and walkthroughs involve a team of people reading or visually inspecting a program. With either method, participants must
conduct some preparatory work. The climax is a “meeting of the minds,” at a participant conference. The objective of the meeting is
to find errors but not to find solutions to the errors. That is, to test, not debug. Code inspections and walkthroughs have been widely used for
some time.
