Software inspections are a software engineering "bestpractice" for defect detection and rework reduction. Inthis paper, we describe an empirical evaluation withusing a tool aiming to provide Internet groupwaresupport for distributed software inspections. The tool isbased on a restructured inspection process whereinspection meetings have the only goal of removing falsepositives rather than finding additional defects. In placeof face-to-face meetings, the tool provides web-baseddiscussion forums and support for voting.We present an empirical study of nine remoteinspections which were held as part of a universitycourse. We investigated whether all collected defects areworth to be discussed as a group. Results show thatdiscussions for filtering out false positives (non truedefects) might be restricted to defects which werediscovered by only one inspector.
