2.0 out of 5 stars The Question-Answer format makes this title a poor pick., February 27, 1998

By A Customer

Having launced a comprehensive software review & inspection process for several major corporations, most recently United Airlines, I found this particular book confusing and almost impossible as a ready reference or resource. The question-answer format provides information based on the questions the author believes you should ask, and makes referencing for specific information frustrating and time-consuming, if not impossible. The examples are elementary and lack significant value. A far better resource is "Software Inspection," by Gilb and Graham; Addison-Wesley publishers.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good book, but not the best reference, June 16, 1998

By	Kevin Devaney (Fayetteville, New York USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Software Inspection by Gilb covers the subject a lot better. However, Freedman and Weinberg's book has a lot of good points on group dynamics and politics and such that Gilb doesn't get into. Freedman's book is a quick read too.
