Peer reviews to detect software errors during a program
development activity are called:
A. emulation techniques.
B. structured walk-throughs.
C. modular program techniques.
D. top-down program construction.
Answer / guest
Answer: B
A structured walk-through is a management tool for improving
productivity. Structured walk-throughs can detect an
incorrect or improper interpretation of the program
specifications. This, in turn, improves the quality of
system testing and acceptance of it. The other choices are
methods or tools in the overall systems development process.
