Guidelines to Review
Work Products v1.0 Document Template Reference No: 1-3 Copyright © RASS Tools Limited, UK Website: www.rasstools.com, Doc Ref No: 1-6 Page 3 of 19 1 Introduction This document describes the guidelines to review work products or artifacts such as documents, designs, software code, and reports etc. Reviewing of work products happens after the creation or change and before the approval of the work product. Reviewing the work products is a required quality assurance activity. Review impacts cost, performance and risk factors. It is critical for success as well as improvements in all spheres of business and technical activities. Review methods: Different types of work product may require different types of review methods. Reviews may use formal or informal methods. Informal Review method: Sending a document’s review request through an email is widely used as an informal review method. Formal reviews should be preferred over informal reviews. Research studies indicate that formal reviews greatly outperform informal reviews in cost-effectiveness. Informal reviews may often be time-wasting through lack of focus. Therefore while conducting informal reviews; reviewers must be communicated with the review focus for their part in the form of review checklist or a statement. Formal Review methods: The following methods of formal reviews are generally used. • Peer To Peer Review • Walkthrough Review • Inspection Review Peer to Peer Review: ‘Peer to Peer Review’ takes place within peers who are familiar with the work product and related aspects. The peers are individual persons or members of a team. The peers may have expertise (skills and experience) in different areas related to different aspects the work product. After the author or the producer has declared the work product to be complete, one or more peers do the review. The reviewers may consult other persons if they are in doubt or require additional information. At the end of the review, the reviewer completes the Review Records Form (Doc Ref No: 1-7) and sends the same to the producer. Walkthrough Review: Walkthrough Reviews are conducted through a presentation where at least Author or Producer, Recorder and Reviewers are present. Author or producer may also be the recorder. Author or producer makes the presentation. In case of software code, presentation need not be done literally reading line by line, but it should be more of a paraphrasing the code being reviewed. In case of documents, author or producer may explain concepts along with reading the document. Reviewers can interrupt as soon as they have found a defect or needs additional information. Then the point for interruption is discussed. Recorder notes the defect if all agrees to it. Inspection Review: Inspection Review is similar to the ‘Walkthrough Review’ except the addition of a Moderator to the review team. Moderator checks the preparedness for everyone. Recorder notes the defect when signaled by the moderator i.e. an agreement among review team is not required. Rest review process is the same as ‘Walkthrough Review’. Often ‘Root Cause Analysis of defects’ is also done after the review is completed. Further details on review methods is available in the following section 3

Work Products v1.0 Document Template Reference No: 1-3 Copyright © RASS Tools Limited, UK Website: www.rasstools.com, Doc Ref No: 1-6 Page 4 of 19 Review Aspects: All work products are not reviewed identically. Reviews may focus different quality assurance aspects for different work products. These quality assurance aspects are combined into three main groups as given bellow. • Functional Aspects • Technical Aspects • Management Aspects • Quality Standard Aspects Functional Aspects: Here review focuses on the required functionality provided by the work product. Review checks the adequacy of functionalities and missing functionalities. Reviewers may also suggest improvements or alternative implementation ways for inadequacies of functionalities. Technical Aspects: Here review focuses on work product engineering that may involve reviewing of design, construction, testing and implementation aspects. Reviewers may also suggest improvements or alternative implementation ways for inadequacies of functionalities. Management Aspects: Management aspects of review is concerned mainly on management side of the work product such as planning, resourcing and controlling costs, productivity, profitability and customer service. Management aspects are reviewed before a work product is sent to the customer. Often management aspects are part of the work product approval process. Reviews for management aspects can be conducted in a formal meeting or just by one person. Quality Standard Aspects: These review aspects focus on enforcing compliance with quality management systems such as applying standards, following guidelines, identifying, analyzing and rectifying defects. For further details on Review Aspects, please refer information in section 4. Review Checklists: Formal review methods require that all aspects of review are focused. Review checklists plays very important role to help reviewers to focus attention, ask relevant questions and collect information about items included in the checklists. Section 5 describes various review checklists for some of the work products. Inadequate Reviews: Inadequate Reviews – • may cause unexpected problems • be very costly to rectify problems • be the reason for failures Take it seriously: Reviews must be taken with seriousness. It is unavoidable and required activity. This guide will help you to prepare for successfully doing reviews.

Role Role Definition Author or Producer Author or Producer is an individual or a team of individuals who have created the work product. The following are some of the responsibilities of an Author or a Producer ensures readiness of work product for review, assists moderator in planning for review, prepares for briefing in overview meeting, fixes all defects identified, resolves all issues raised during Review, provides process metrics to moderator. Moderator Moderator is the person who organizes/controls the review meetings, selects reviewers and assign roles, ensures work product readiness, schedules the review meeting, ensures adherence to review objectives, determines work product partitioning requirements, schedules overview meeting, ensures receipt of required information by participants, ensure individual preparation before logging meeting, triggers defect logging for the recorder, ensures consensus on defects/issues logged, determine disposition of work product, collects process metrics and distribute results ((Size, effort and defect data, along with defect analysis) and determines need for updating any checklists. Reviewer Reviewer is responsible for scrutinizing the document or the work product under review, verifying its completeness and correctness make suggestions and observations during the meeting ensuring active participation. Reader Reader is a person who reads the document or the work product in the Review meetings. Recorder Recorder documents the issues discussed during the meeting in the form of an action list. In case of Peer Review meetings the Recorder also documents the defects observed during the review meeting. The Recorder will Record defect after consensus is reached or on signal from Moderator, read back recorded defect for verification, ensure information logged is clear, complete and correct. Table 1

The following Table 4 gives describes the details of review aspects. Please note. This is not a complete list. You can use this list to create the review checklist for a work product. Section 5 describes review checklists for few work products. You can improve over these checklists by using information on review aspects. Review aspect What to focus during the Review? Compliance with contractual requirements The main focus of this review aspect is the Statement of Work (SOW) and the Contract. • Contractual requirements are part of the SOW. • Standards and specifications included by reference in the contract. Completeness A document or product may be in process and not yet completed at the time of the review. Because of this, the reviewer must judge whether the degree of completeness at a particular time is adequate. At every stage of document development, all required sections and section headers should be present. Completeness of paragraph content depends upon when the required information is, or should be, known. Criteria that may apply, depending on the document, include identified and appropriate – • intent and purpose of the document • document audience • timeframes • contact information • reviews and approvals The sources of information to assist in making this determination include associated documentation on planning and execution. Functionality Aspects Appropriate content for intended audience A document is targeted at an audience, and its review must focus on how well it is able to meet the needs of the targeted audience. If there are guidelines, reviewers must use the guidelines. However, the reviewers may be required to make judgment as to whether the material provided is suitable for the intended audience. For example, an application user may not need design details which are critical for development and support personnel.

Work Products v1.0 Document Template Reference No: 1-3 Copyright © RASS Tools Limited, UK Website: www.rasstools.com, Doc Ref No: 1-6 Page 8 of 19 Review aspect What to focus during the Review? Technical adequacy Understanding of Technical adequacy at times may be complex and require technical knowledge and skills. In general reviewers may cover the following: • Are there violation of known facts or principles • Consistent with approaches known to be successful • Well researched or based on proven prototypes • Well thought out, not thrown together • Make sense both technically and practically Technical Feasibility Feasibility is the degree to which plans, requirements, or design can be implemented given the state of the art, schedule and resource constraints, available tools, techniques, and other factors. An additional consideration is that items that are feasible in isolation may not be feasible when taken together. Each item must therefore be evaluated in the context of accompanying items. Technical Aspects Traceability Traceability means that the document being reviewed is in agreement with any predecessor documents. Traceability has three criteria: • The document fully implements the applicable stipulations of a predecessor document • All material in a subsequent or lower-level document has its basis in the predecessor document, that is, no untraceable material has been introduced • The two documents do not contradict one another. plus • A referenced section contains the information or otherwise fully implements the applicable stipulations indicated in the reference, • All material in a lower-level or detailed section of the document has its basis in the predecessor sections, that is, no untraceable material has been introduced • The sections of the document do not contradict one another.

Work Products v1.0 Document Template Reference No: 1-3 Copyright © RASS Tools Limited, UK Website: www.rasstools.com, Doc Ref No: 1-6 Page 9 of 19 Review aspect What to focus during the Review? Testability of requirements A requirement is considered to be testable if an objective, feasible test can be designed to determine whether the requirement is met by the solution. An example of an untestable requirement is “The module shall be composed of small units that execute as quickly as possible.” A testable requirement would state “The module shall be composed of units each smaller than 500 lines of executable code, and each executing in under 10 microseconds.” Adequate test coverage of requirements This factor applies to test planning documents. Questions to be asked include: • Is every requirement addressed by at least one test? • Have test cases been selected for an “average” situation as well as for “boundary” • Situations such as minimum and maximum values? • Have “stress” cases been selected, such as out- of-bounds values? • Have meaningful combinations of inputs been selected? • Are test cases efficient in that they do not test the same feature over and over? Support of enterprise architectures This factor evaluates the document’s agreement with such defined strategies and models. Questions to be asked is ‘Does it agree with defined enterprise views and support/align with the data and application architecture?’. Adherence to documentation standards This factor identifies appropriate and applicable documentation standards and required or recommended document formats and assesses adherence to these. In most cases required format for document is the template for a document type. Other sources are project or contractor-proposed formats and special contract-specified formats. Evaluation should be relatively straightforward based upon the applicable guidance. Quality Assurance Aspects Consistency The document being evaluated does not contradict itself or with references in either content or style. Criteria for consistency include: • All statements must be compatible, • A given term must have the same meaning throughout, • A given item or concept must be referred to by the same name or description throughout, and • The level of detail and presentation style must

Work Products v1.0 Document Template Reference No: 1-3 Copyright © RASS Tools Limited, UK Website: www.rasstools.com, Doc Ref No: 1-6 Page 10 of 19 Review aspect What to focus during the Review? be the same throughout. Readability, comprehensibility and general understandability The ease with which the document can be comprehended. Criteria include: • Use of generally accepted rules of grammar, capitalization, punctuation, symbols, and notation • Non-standard terms, phrases, acronyms, and abbreviations are defined • The level of complexity is appropriate to the intended audience • The material being presented can be interpreted in unique way Use of appropriate requirement, design, or coding techniques A contract may describe exceptions or augmentations to the techniques that have been approved. The statement of work (SOW) may also expand upon, clarify, or change the technique to be used. These sources should be the basis for determining the techniques to be used and for evaluating compliance. Appropriate level of detail Level of detail is a subjective factor whose evaluation must be based on the intended use and audience of the document. A document can err in either direction: a document that is supposed to provide an overview might be too detailed and a document that is supposed to provide details might be too high-level. Review of the applicable documentation plan, document descriptor, and other documents of the same type may aid in determining whether the level of detail is appropriate. Allocation of sizing, timing, or resources • The total of the allocated amounts is within the overall allocation. • Do the allocations seem realistic and feasible? • Do the allocations take into account the demands on each unit component, or do they seem to be mere mechanical allocations, such as dividing available resources by number of units? • Are the allocations based on prototyping and other analysis, or just on guesswork? Adequacy of proposed tools, facilities, procedures, or resources This review factor applies to planning documents. Evaluation requires judgment as to whether the proposed items will be adequate to fulfill their intended purpose. A useful evaluation technique is comparison with past projects, when possible. Management Aspects Alignment with the Documents will be evaluated for adherence to, and

The activities performed during reviews depend upon the work product and the review method used. The following is the partial list of generic activities that may be performed during reviews. • Read the original and referenced documents and records • Explain concepts with relevant examples with facts and figures • Check for information required for checklist items and complete the checklist • Discuss issues from various angles and aspects • Logging observations about omissions, inconsistencies, deviations and defects • Cross checking with references, standards and guidelines • Validate financial and other vital figures • Refer issues to experts or authorities external to the review team and get their views • Do root cause and other analysis such as reconciliation • Suggesting alternate ways and improvements • Prepare and submit review reports and update review records

Work Products v1.0 Document Template Reference No: 1-3 Copyright © RASS Tools Limited, UK Website: www.rasstools.com, Doc Ref No: 1-6 Page 13 of 19 6 What skills are needed to perform reviews? Looking at the information in section 4, it is obvious that review focus has large scope. To perform reviews one must have adequate skills required by various review aspects. As a single person is most likely not to have all of the skills, more than one reviewer or a review team is required where a member of review team can focus of a particular set of review aspects.
