#Pairwise comparisons between testing and other QA alternatives. #####Xiaobin Fang 13126067
###Inspection vs. preventive actions
- Inspection coupled with causal analysis
- Together drive preventive actions
- Key difference: error vs fault focus
###Inspection vs. formal verification
- FV (cid:25) formalized inspection
- Focus: people vs. mathematical/logical
- Tradeoff: formality vs. cost
- Training and acceptability issues
###Inspection vs. testing
- Existence of the implemented product
- Levels of quality/defects
- Static vs. dynamic defects
- Localized vs. interconnected defects
- Combined approaches:1) phases and transitions 2) inspection of testing entities/processes
###Inspection vs. fault tolerance
- Complementary instead of competing
- Static vs. dynamic
- Inspection of FT techniques/mechanisms
