A Software Inspection Process for Globally Distributed Teams

Globally distributed software development is an accepted trend towards delivering high-quality software to global users at lower costs. Globally distributed software development teams particularly face communication and coordination problems due to spatial, temporal and cultural separation between team members. Ensuring quality issues in such projects is an important issue. This paper presents a software inspection process in the distributed software development towards quality assurance and management.
