Question

Which one of the following assertions concerning code inspection and code walkthrough is true?

Correct answer (C) Adherence to coding standards is checked during code inspection Solution Code inspection is a formal review process where the code is examined for defects, adherence to coding standards, and other quality issues. It is typically more rigorous than a walkthrough. (A) is incorrect because inspection can be done before unit testing. (B) is incorrect because they are distinct processes (inspection is formal, walkthrough is informal). (C) is correct because checking adherence to coding standards is a primary objective of code inspection. (D) is incorrect because walkthroughs are usually peer reviews led by the author, not necessarily an independent test team. Turn this into a strength.
