Download A Survey of Peer Review Techniques.
This week we’re looking at peer reviews.
Show Notes
Today’s podcast brushes over several techniques described by Karl Wiegers and Steve McConnell, including:
- inspections
- team reviews
- walkthroughs
- pair programming
- code reading
- dog and pony shows or client demos
- peer deskchecks or pass-arounds
- ad hoc reviews
There were two major sources for this podcast. First is the article When Two Eyes Aren’t Enough, by Karl Wiegers and available from his website, processimpact.com. The second was Chapter 21 of Steve McConnell’s second edition of Code Complete.

Hi,
Just discovered your recent podcast on peer reviews. I’m glad you found my writing interesting enough to talk about. Thought you might be interested to know that my last name has the German pronunciation, “Wee-gurz”. :-).
Thanks,
Karl

Hi Karl,
I think your writing is excellent. I’ve been following it since your Software Requirements book (first version), and highly recommend your work to everyone.
Thanks for the correction on the pronunciation of your last name. My father and grandfather both speak German (my last name is German), and would probably have read it no problem. I guess my French speaking is a bit of betrayal to that heritage.
