A Preliminary Study on Asynchronous Discussions for Distributed Software Inspections
نویسندگان
چکیده
Face-to-face (F2F) meeting is the cornerstone of the traditional inspection process. However, F2F meetings hinder the applicability of software inspections in the context of distributed software development. We present a preliminary study where we compare six collocated versus six distributed inspections. In the former group team members physically meet and discuss in a collocated manner, while in the latter group team members discuss at different times and from different places, through a web inspection tool. The study shows that asynchronous discussions within distributed software inspections can replace F2F meetings without reducing inspection performance in terms of effectiveness.

Our research explores the combination of synchronous and asynchronous collaboration tools for global software development. In this paper we assess the impact of tool-mediated inspections to improve requirements negotiation meetings with stakeholders spread over different continents. We present the design of our investigation in an educational environment, in a course where the clients and devel...
متن کاملVirtual Software Inspections for Distributed Software Engineering Projects
Traditional software inspection is recognized method, but is poorly suited to modern distributed software engineering projects. Arranging inspections in a distributed and asynchronous manner is not a straightforward matter. Over and over again, researchers have constructed tools with unique sets of features to support paper-based inspections. Now the concept of virtual software inspection is in...
متن کاملPreliminary Evaluation of Tool-based Support for Distributed Inspection
Software inspections are a software engineering “best practice” for defect detection and rework reduction. In this paper, we describe our initial empirical evaluation with using a tool aiming to provide Internet groupware support for distributed software inspections. The tool is based on a restructured inspection process to reduce synchronization and coordination problems.

متن کاملDALD:-Distributed-Asynchronous-Local-Decontamination Algorithm in Arbitrary Graphs
Network environments always can be invaded by intruder agents. In networks where nodes are performing some computations, intruder agents might contaminate some nodes. Therefore, problem of decontaminating a network infected by intruder agents is one of the major problems in these networks. In this paper, we present a distributed asynchronous local algorithm for decontaminating a network. In mos...
