Abstract: | All current software quality assurance methods incorporate some form of formal technical review (FTR), because structured
analysis of software artefacts by a team of skilled technical personnel has demonstrated an ability to improve quality. However,
FTR methods come in a wide variety of forms with varying effectiveness, incur significant overhead on technical staff, and
have little computer support. Measurements of these FTR methods are coarse-grained, frequently low quality, and expensive
to obtain. This paper describes CSRS, a highly instrumented, computer-supported system for formal technical review, and shows
how it is designed to collect high quality, fine-grained measures of FTR process and products automatically. The paper also
discusses some results from over one year of experimentation with CSRS; describes how CSRS improves current process improvement
approaches to FTR; and overviews several novel research projects on FTR that are made possible by this system. |
