Non-Destructive Testing vs Manual Inspection
Developers should learn NDT when working on safety-critical systems, quality assurance in manufacturing, or applications involving structural health monitoring, such as in IoT sensor networks or predictive maintenance software meets developers should use manual inspection during code reviews to catch logic errors, improve code maintainability, and share knowledge across teams, especially in early development stages or for complex business logic. Here's our take.
Non-Destructive Testing
Developers should learn NDT when working on safety-critical systems, quality assurance in manufacturing, or applications involving structural health monitoring, such as in IoT sensor networks or predictive maintenance software
Non-Destructive Testing
Nice PickDevelopers should learn NDT when working on safety-critical systems, quality assurance in manufacturing, or applications involving structural health monitoring, such as in IoT sensor networks or predictive maintenance software
Pros
- +It is essential for ensuring reliability and compliance in industries where failure could have severe consequences, like in aerospace, nuclear, or infrastructure projects
- +Related to: quality-assurance, sensor-technology
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Manual Inspection
Developers should use manual inspection during code reviews to catch logic errors, improve code maintainability, and share knowledge across teams, especially in early development stages or for complex business logic
Pros
- +It's crucial for security audits where human intuition can spot vulnerabilities automated tools might miss, and in usability testing to evaluate user experience from a human perspective
- +Related to: code-review, software-testing
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Non-Destructive Testing if: You want it is essential for ensuring reliability and compliance in industries where failure could have severe consequences, like in aerospace, nuclear, or infrastructure projects and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Manual Inspection if: You prioritize it's crucial for security audits where human intuition can spot vulnerabilities automated tools might miss, and in usability testing to evaluate user experience from a human perspective over what Non-Destructive Testing offers.
