Inspections can play a significant role in a quality management system when used consistently and correctly, but they are of little value if applied haphazardly or without controls or for the wrong tasks [STRAUSS]. For example, inspections can not be applied for or only limitedly used in the following circumstances:
Evaluate alternative algorithms or approaches
No follow-up to an inspection meeting
Data is not collected and analyzed
Inspections are used only by some of the developers within a project. Even if applied correctly and consistently, inspections are not effective in all project environments [STRAUSS]. For instance, they will not work well on unstructured projects, such as research, or on a project that have no interim checkpoints. Thus the inspections are applied for person who
Is committed to the inspection process and well trained in its use
Works on a well structured, closely managed project that has identified checkpoints
Is guided by a quality management process that has identified defect detection goals
