The results described above suggest that better techniques for analyzing artifacts may do more to improve effectiveness than better inspection methods will. There are two contexts in which reviewers analyze an artifact: individually and as a team. In this work, I explored the relative strengths and weaknesses of Team analysis versus Individual analysis, and explored new individual analysis techniques. These results suggest that team analysis may not be more effective than individuals working alone, and that improved defect detection techniques may indeed improve overall inspection effectiveness.
