Abstract

This paper will present findings from a Six Sigma Black Belt Project. Every Black Belt Project has a charter that defines the customer focus and the goals of the project. This project is designed to identify the key factors that impact effectiveness for software inspections and tocompare Fagan Inspections and Modified Fagan Inspections used at Motorola. Empirical data is collected and simulation models of the generic processes are created. The models that are created abstract away unnecessary details of the process and provide a test-bed to evaluate the methodologies relative to their effectiveness, cost in effort, time required (duration), andcomplexity of the activity.
