The process is performed by a group of people (three or four), only one of whom is the author of the program. Hence the program is essentially being tested by people other than the author, which is in consonance with the testing principle stating that an individual is usually ineffective in testing his or her own program. Inspection and walkthroughs are far more effective compare to desk checking (the process of a programmer reading his/her own program before testing it) because people other than the program’s author are involved in the process. These processes also appear to result in lower debugging (error correction) costs, since, when they find an error, the precise nature of the error is usually located. Also, they expose a batch or errors, thus allowing the errors to be corrected later enmasse. Computer based testing, on the other hand, normally exposes only a symptom of the error and errors are usually detected and corrected one by one.
