Abstract
Reading is a fundamental technology for achieving quality software. This paper provides a motivation for reading as a quality improvement technology, based upon experiences in the Software Engineering Laboratory at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center and shows the evolution of our study of reading via a series of experiments. The experiments range from the early reading vs. testing experiments to various Cleanroom experiments that employed reading to the development of new reading technologies currently under study.
