Software design inspection is a broad research area encircling technique that assist in different software engineering activities, such as requirement, design, development, testing, deployment, maintenance, reverse engineering etc. Covered methods include study, development and evaluation of multiple approaches for visually analyzing the software system, including their structure, execution behavior, and evolution [2].
