Fagan’s Inspection Method is a six-step highly structured means of performing reviews on intermediate and fi nal software products (specifi cations, code, documentation, etc). Developed by Michael Fagan, when at IBM, this formal technique is considered amongst the most powerful and effective quality control tool used. Peer Reviews is one of KPA’s ( Key Process Areas) of Level 3 of the Software Capability Maturity Model® of the Software Engineering Institute (CMM®). Organizations which have effectively implemented an Inspections process have reported 20% - 40% increase in productivity over the life cycle and considerable reduction in the development time. It also leads to a signifi cant improvement in quality and team spirit.
