| State-of-the-Art Software Inspections and Reading at NASA | |

| Dates | November 2000 - November 2003 |
| Problem | Software defects have had negative effects on NASA missions, from the expense of corrective actions to the loss of the mission. Inspection of key artifacts, in conjunction with technical reading processes, has been proven to reduce defect rates both within NASA and elsewhere. Effective inspection processes need to be further disseminated at NASA, and continuously assessed and improved. |
| Objective | The objective of this proposal is to pilot an updated, full life cycle approach to software inspection and reading, and to disseminate this approach among development projects. This research will build on existing work at JPL and within the SEL at GSFC to reduce project cost and increase software and system reliability. |
