Active Review vs Formal Inspection
Developers should use Active Review when working in agile or fast-paced environments where rapid iteration and high-quality code are critical, such as in startups, DevOps teams, or projects with frequent releases meets developers should learn and use formal inspection when working on critical systems, safety-critical applications, or projects requiring high reliability, as it provides a rigorous, documented approach to defect detection that complements testing. Here's our take.
