------------
Reviews are of 3 types

1) Technical Review: A Technical Review (also known as a
peer review), is considered to be a formal review type,
even though no Managers are expected to attend. It
involves a structured encounter, in which a peer/s analyse
the work with a view to improve the quality of the original
work.

1 Ideally led by the Moderator
2 Attended by peers / technical experts
3 Documentation is required
4 No Management presence
5 Decision making
6 Solving technical problems

2) Inspection Review: An inspection is a formal type of
review. It requires preparation on the part the review team
members before the inspection meeting takes place. A follow-
up stage is also a requirement of the inspection. This
ensures that any re-working is carried out correctly.


1 Led by a Moderator
2 Attended by specified roles
3 Metrics are included
4 Formal process
5 Entry and Exit Criteria
6 Defect finding

3) Informal Review: An informal review is an extremely
popular choice early on in the development lifecycle of
both software and documentation. The review is commonly
performed by peer or someone with relevant experience, and
should be informal and brief.
