Learn twenty software reading techniques to enhance your effectiveness in reviewing and inspecting software artifacts such as requirements specifications, designs, code files, and usability. Software review and inspection is the best practice in software development that detects and fixes problems early. Software professionals are trained to write software but not read and analyze software written by peers. As a result, individual reading skills vary widely. Because the effectiveness of software review and inspection is highly dependent on individual reading skills, differential outcomes among software readers vary by a factor of ten. Software Reading Techniques is designed to close that gap.
Dr Yang‐Ming Zhu’s depth of experience as a software architect, team leader, and scientist make him singularly well-equipped to bring you up to speed on all the techniques and tips for optimizing the effectiveness and efficiency of your software review and inspection skills.
What You'll Learn:

Improve software review, inspection procedures, and reading skills

Study traditional and modern advanced reading techniques applicable to software artifacts

Master specific reading techniques for software requirements specification, software design, and code

Who This Book Is For:
Software professionals and software engineering students and researchers

Yang‐Ming Zhu is Principal Scientist at Philips Healthcare, currently serving as the software architect for the Recon and Imaging Physics team for Advanced Molecular Imaging. He practices and researches image processing and software engineering with a focus on software architecture, requirements engineering, best practices, software quality, and processes.
