...aches. One area of interest was to understand the relationship between reading and testing in our environment. Early experiments showed very little difference between reading and testing (Hetzel1972; =-=Myers 1978-=-). But reading in these studies was simply reading, without a technological base. Thus we attempted to study the differences between various specific technology based approaches. Our goal was to analy...

To some extent, this might explain the success of reading in this experiment (Basili and Selby 1987) over the studies by Hetzel (=-=Hetzel 1972-=-) and Myers (Myers 1978). Thus we derived the following conclusions from the studies described thus far: -Reading using a particular technique is more effective and more cost effective than specific t...
