Abstract

Traditional software inspection requires participants to meet together at the same time in the same place. Distributed, asynchronous inspection allows partcipants to conduct meetings independently of time and space, making inspection more convenient. We report on an industrial study that we have performed using a tool designed for distributed, asynchronous software inspection. Our experience suggests that distributed, asynchronous software inspection is feasible, and is a cost-effective means of collaboration for geographically distributed work groups.
