Viewing the Reviewing: An Observational Study of the Use of an Interactive Digital Video To Help Teach the Concepts of Design Inspection Reviews.
Love, Matthew
"Design Inspection Reviews" are structured meetings in which participants follow certain rules of procedure and behavior when conducting detailed readings of design plans to identify errors and misunderstandings. The technique is widely used in the software engineering industry, where it is demonstrably more effective than testing at identifying errors in software, but it is by no means restricted to this domain. Similar practices can be found in many other creative industries. This paper reports on an interactive multimedia program used to reinforce the teaching of the technique to software engineering and computer network students. The results of the end-of-studies examination papers of the student group that used the multimedia program are compared to those of the previous group. The results appear to show an improvement of over 7% for the Review topic question for exams that were otherwise comparable in standard. The quality of the research data and the validity of it's conclusion are discussed. Includes two tables and three color figures. (Author)
