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 Labora-tory at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, and shows the evolution of our study of reading via a series of experiments. The experiments range from early read-ing vs. testing experiments to various Cleanroom ex-periments that employed reading to the development of new reading technologies currently under study. 0 1997 by Elsevier Science Inc. 1.
