Software inspection is regarded as a cost-effective quality assurance technique.
Consequently, several reading techniques have been proposed to guide inspection process. However,
the question of how these techniques rank when comparing their cost-effectiveness has neither
been clearly nor consistently and completely answered in the literature. This paper therefore seeks
to comparatively perform cost-benefit analyses of the two oldest and most widely used reading
techniques namely Ad hoc Reading (AR) and Checklist-Based Reading (CBR) by conducting a
controlled experiment. Results show that CBR is much more cost-effective (in time) and of much
benefit (in improving quality).
Keywords: Checklist-based reading, adhoc reading, inspection, software quality, cost-benefit analysis
