Abstract:
Past research suggests that experience is a critical factor in software review performance. The

review performance in the software industry. One hundred and twenty-one industry practitioners have
participated in this research. The research was conducted between March and July 2003 in Australia. The
research findings indicate that: (1) role experience has a positive effect on performance; (2) working experience
in the software industry has a positive effect on performance; and (3) there is a significant correlationship
between role experience and working experience in the software industry.
