Improve Software Inspection Performance
Just like testing performance, inspection performance may be slowing
down your CI system. Use the following list of questions to determine
if inspections are slowing down integration builds.
• Which metrics are used? Does each metric provide tangible value?
• Are there two or more tools providing the same metrics, which
may decrease your build performance?
• Are you running automated inspections with every build? Are
there certain analyses that can run as part of a secondary or peri-
odic build?
• Are there inspections that you can run on specific subsystems
rather than the entire code base?
This next list identifies possible solutions to improve software
inspection performance.
• Remove unused and unnecessary inspections.
• Reduce duplicate inspections.
• Reduce the frequency of certain inspections.
