In Distributed Software development, effective reviews of analysis documents lead to increased correctness of analysis results. When managed without tool support, such reviews lead to ineffective usage of time and effort and possibly even delay the project. Also going ahead without reviews completed, implies risks of incorrect or incomplete features. In this paper we contrast the manual process we used to follow to organize distributed software reviews and the process with DOCTOR to show how it greatly improves the process of distributed software reviews. We also attempt to provide a projection in terms of cost of efforts saved and the resultant increase in productivity. We also compare DOCTOR with other web-based tools and project its advantages and disadvantages. We hope to convince readers who haven't adopted tool based support for distributed reviews by this paper on the clear advantages of the same.
