Abstract

According to recent surveys, software developers still perceive current inspection tools as insufficient. One reason might be that most of the existing tools focus their support on organizational aspects of the inspection. We present a knowledge-based tool that provides intelligent support in the defect detection step. This tool is embedded in two learning loops: one for the inspection process itself and one loop that goes across the whole software lifecycle.
