Types of software Design Reviews
Software Design Reviews are classified into three categories:
> System design review
> Software preliminary design review
> Software critical design review
In the system design review the technical requirements allocated to software are evaluated. This evaluation is carried out after the documentation of such requirements in the computer program performance specification.
The software preliminary design review is conducted after defining the software to the computer program component level. Before the detail design the software preliminary design review evaluates the chosen software design procedure. In addition, during the software preliminary design review the functional interfaces are examined.
Finally, the software critical design review is concerned with evaluating, before the start of coding, the fully completed detail design. [Source]
