Object oriented analysis and design

1. What can you deduce if the rate of fault detection during design inspection doubles?
Ans:Statement:
Fault detection in design inspection doubles the quality and reliability of products, increases the
implementation and testing time, and makes a loss in a business.
Elaboration:
Michael Fagan developed the formal software inspection process at IBM in the mid-1970s, hence the
term "Fagan inspection." Fagan inspections are thoroughly discussed in Software Inspection by Tom Gilb
and Dorothy Graham (Addison-Wesley, 1993). To qualify as a true inspection, the activity follows a
specified process and the participants play well-defined roles. An inspection team consists of 3-8
members: Moderator, Author, Reader, Recorder and Inspector.
A formal inspection consists of several activities:
1. Planning:The moderator selects the inspection team, obtains materials to be inspected from the
author, and distributes them and any other relevant documents to the inspection team in
advance.
2. Overview meeting:This meeting gives the author an opportunity to describe the important
features of the product to the inspection team.
3. Preparation: Each participant is responsible for examining the work artifacts prior to the actual
inspection meeting, noting any defects found or issues to be raised.
4. Inspection meeting: During this session, the team convenes and is led through the work product
by the moderator and reader.
5. Casual Analysis: It can lead to improved quality on future work by helping to avoid making the
same mistakes in the future.
6. Rework:The author is responsible for resolving all issues raised during the inspection. This does
not necessarily mean making every change that was suggested, but an explicit decision must be
made about how each issue or defect will be dealt with.
7. Follow-up:To verify that the necessary rework has been performed properly, the moderator is
responsible for following up with the author.
Exemplification:
In 2011, Toyota; one of the famous company in Japan , recall about 235,000 vehicles in the United
States, including about 133,000 Lexus and Toyota hybrids, for a loss of power or stalling .

2. Illustration:
Toyota got some problems in their car in 2011, which is about lacking of proper implementation and
testing by the company in their products. This error makes a loss in business for Toyota Company,
returning cars from different sales room from different states of USA and returning back to the company
increases their amount of loss, implementation time and testing phase too.
Due to this example, we can compare it with any software product also, if the software teams got some
error in design phase and then they did not solved it in the same phase, then they have to tolerate that
error in the next phases too.
