Abstract
This paper describes a Bull US Applied Research Laboratory project to build a collaborative inspection and review system called Scrutiny using ConversationBuilder from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The project has several distinct aspects: technology oriented research, prototype building, experimentation, and tool deployment/technology transfer. Described are the design of the current operational version of Scrutiny for inspection-only, the evolutionary design of Scrutiny to handle various forms of review, and some initial thoughts on integration with other CASE frameworks and tools. The problem domain selected, the development environment, lessons learned thus far, some ideas from related work, and the problems anticipated are discussed here.
