Code Review and Inspection Techniques

Posted by on Jan 16, 2025 in Software Engineering | 0 comments

Code Review: Peer review of code helps detect faults early, reducing correction costs. Analyzing errors early in development is crucial for defect detection and mitigation of risks like budget and planning deviations. It improves quality, visibility, and the ability to analyze changes quickly, reducing testing effort.

Types of Code Reviews

  • Informal: Conducted between pairs of developers.
  • Formal: Planned reviews with assigned responsibilities, becoming more necessary as project size increases.

Code Inspections

Inspections:

Static Analysis

Static Analysis is the analysis of computer software that is performed without actually executing programs. It is used for software fault detection, code-style recommendation, and metrics to determine the complexity of software.

Features:

  • Covers all the code.
  • Does not depend on the compiler.
  • Can find errors years after deployment.
  • Can identify problems with copy-paste of code.

Metrics:

The analysis can be performed at different levels:

  • Functions.
  • Files.
  • Project level.

Each company should decide

Software Design and Architecture: Key Concepts and Practices

Posted by on Jan 9, 2025 in Software Engineering | 0 comments

Understanding Diversification in Software Projects

This concept states that different software projects need different design strategies, techniques, and tools based on their unique nature, size, and objectives. For instance, a project focusing on a mobile application for end-users will have a vastly different design approach compared to a large-scale enterprise software solution.

Domain of Software Design

It involves the identification, definition, and organization of all requirements, constraints,
