Does task training really affect group performance

The purpose of this paper is to examine the important relationships between task training experience and software review performance. A total of 192 subjects voluntarily participated in a laboratory experimental research and were randomly assigned into 48 four-member groups. Subjects were required to find defects from a design document. The main finding shows that task training experience has no significant effect on software review performance.
