Abstract:
The aim of this paper is to identify the key
software review inputs that significantly affect review
performance in practice. Five in-depth semi-structured
interviews were conducted with different I.T. organizations.
From the interviews’ results, the typical issues for conducting
software review include (1) selecting right reviewers to perform
a defect detection task, (2) the limitation of time and resources
for organizing and conducting software renew (3) no standard
and specific guideline to measure an effective review for
different types of software artefacts (i.e. requirement, design,
code and test cases). Thus the result shows that the experience
(i.e. knowledge and skills) of reviewers is the most significant
input influenciug software review performance.
