Software reading techniques: twenty techniques for more effective software review and inspection

摘要

Software professionals are trained to create software artifacts of all kinds. Surprisingly, they are not taught how to read and analyze the resulting requirements, designs, test cases, and code. Yang-Ming Zhu's short book intends to address this by describing and promoting proven reading techniques used in practice. Eight chapters cover generic software reading techniques that apply to any artifact and specific techniques that apply only to requirements, designs, or code. The chapters are mostly self-contained, each with a complete list of references.
