Responsibility of a Facilitator are:

• Formal reviews

• Ad hoc

• Checklist-based

• Informal reviews

relies on the manual examination of work products (i.e., reviews) or tool-driven evaluation of the code or other work products (i.e., static analysis).

• Static testing

• Dynamic testing

• Review process

• Regression testing

typical benefits of static testing:

a. detecting and correcting defects more efficient, and prior to dynamic test execution

b. Reducing development cost and time

c. Reducing total cost of quality over the software’s lifetime, due to fewer failures later in the lifecycle or after delivery into operation

d. defects in design or coding will not happen

• a, b, c

• a, c, d

• b, c, d

is a technique in which the reviewers evaluate the work product from the perspective of individual stakeholder roles

• Scenarios and dry runs

• Ad hoc

are characterized by team participation, documented results of the review, and documented procedures for conducting the review
