Inspection methods are a kind of engineering problem solving based on the recognition and use of standard forms or {\it cliches}. Examples are given of program analysis, program synthesis and program validation by inspection. A formalism, called the Plan Calculus, is defined and used to represent programming cliches in a convenient, canonical, and programming-language independent fashion.
