An inspection is lead by the author, whilst a walkthrough is lead by a trained moderator.

An inspection has a trained leader, whilst a walkthrough has no leader.

Authors are not present during inspections, whilst they are during walkthroughs.

A walkthrough is lead by the author, whilst an inspection is lead by a trained moderator.

Is not important

Increases as we move the product towards live use

Decreases as we move the product towards live use

Is more expensive if found in requirements than functional design

Can never be determined

As the first approach to deriving test cases

After more formal techniques have been applied

By inexperienced testers

After the system has gone live

Only by end users

Because incremental integration has better early defects screening and isolation ability

Because “big bang” integration is suitable only for real time applications

Incremental integration is preferred over “Big Bang Integration” only for “bottom up” development model

Because incremental integration can compensate for weak and inadequate component testing
