Abstract	March 2003 T deliver superior quality, many organizations have made commitments to initiatives on the Software Engineering Institute’s (SEI) Capability Maturity Model (CMM), ISO 9001, or Six Sigma. Each of these initiatives has one thing in common: software inspections. Managers are interested in knowing the return on investment to be derived from software process improvement actions. The software inspection process gathers some of the data needed to determine this [1]. Software inspections are structured to serve the needs of quality management in verifying that a software artifact complies with its standard of excellence for software engineering. The focus is on verification, on doing the job right. The software inspection is a formal review held at the conclusion of a life-cycle activity and serves as a quality gate with exit criteria for moving on to subsequent activities [2]. The National Software Quality Experiment (NSQE) is a mechanism for obtaining core samples of software product quality. The NSQE includes a micro-level national database of product quality populated by a continuous stream of samples from industry, government, and military services. The centerpiece of the experiment is the software inspection lab where data collection procedures, product checklists, and participant behaviors are packaged for operational project use. The NSQE is providing valuable insights on the practice of software inspections through its database of thousands of software inspection sessions from dozens of organizations containing tens of thousands of defects along with the pertinent information needed to pinpoint their root causes [3].
