Evaluating the Usability of Collaboration Tool for Software Inspection Process
Abstract
To develop a good software product, the first and foremost step to master is creating complete and accurate software requirements specification document. Requirements documents are created from through research and are documented for inspection. The inspection team work on finding defects at an early stage, to avoid defects passed on to design team, reduce software development time and improve the product quality. Inspection process, when done in conventional method is labor intensive, cost ambitious and takes overwhelming time. But the benefits of inspection outweigh the difficulties. Software Collaboration tool is one such tool to improve inspection process, help produce complete and accurate SRS document. This paper reviews newly developed Software Collaboration tool and conducts a user acceptance study to evaluate tool’s quality attributes, functionalities, experience, usefulness and collect suggestions for future development. This paper employs survey research to determine whether the tool characters and functionalities meet user needs.
