QuestionQ46

Chapter 3: Static Testing

Consider a review of a high-level architectural document created by a software architect. The architect performs most of the review preparation, including sending the document to reviewers before the review meeting. However, reviewers are not required to analyze the document beforehand, and at the meeting the software architect explains it step by step. The sole purpose of this review is to create a common understanding of the software architecture to be used in a software development project.

Which review type does this describe?

  • A Inspection.
  • B Audit.
  • C Walkthrough.
  • D Informal review.
Explanation

A walkthrough is an author-led review in which the author presents the work product step by step, often to establish a common understanding. Reviewers are not necessarily required to perform advance analysis, unlike the more formal and preparation-focused inspection process.
