Abstract:
The purpose of this research is to compare the efficiency and the effectiveness of Object-Oriented design document inspection and the effectiveness of false positive removal between 2 software reading techniques for Object-Oriented design document inspection: Object-Oriented Reading Tecniques (OORT) and Checklist-Based Reading (CBR). A design document in this research is a set of UML diagrams consisting of Use Case Diagram, Class Diagram, Sequence Diagram and State Machine Diagram. Inspection processes studied in this research include only three stages: Overview, Preparation and Inspection Meeting. This research is an experimental research in a laboratory. Subjects are students in Master Degree already taken a class in Object-Oriented design and holding a Bachelor Degree related to computer science. There are 48 subjects in the Preparation process, and are divided into groups of 3 in the Inspection Meeting process. There fore, there are 16 groups in the Inspection meeting process. The results indicate that the Object-Oriented Reading Techniques (OORT) is not more effective or efficient than the Checklist-Based Reading (CBR) in software inspection of Object-Oriented design document. However, there is no difference in the effectiveness of false positive removal between Object-Oriented Reading Techniques and Checklist-Based Reading.
