Reviews and inspections are static testing techniques. They are can even be ran before the code is working. The emphasis is on a structured examination of the system and technical documentation. An important point in inspecting is that any document can be reviewed. The big selling point for inspections and reviews is that they can find defects much earlier in the development process. This is then extrapolated to conclude that the defects are cheaper to fix. Defects that are discoverable using these techniques include; uncalled functions and procedures, unreachable code, undeclared variables, array bound violations and parameter type mismatches. The objective of any review is to obtain reliable information, usually as to status and/or work quality.
