Active Reviewing
If you want to help people learn from activities, exercises or experiences, this book is for you. This book fills a gap; it is the gap between doing an activity and learning from it. Plenty of books describe activities that are good for icebreaking, for team-building, for project management or for cross-cultural understanding, etc. A few of these books do give advice about reviewing (or debriefing) the activities, and 90% of the times it reads: “Here are some questions you can ask ...”. How’s that for boring and/or limiting? The result of such advice is that reviews are often dull and they dwell on what went wrong. When reading, they give off a feeling of discomfort. But why is that? Well, one of the reasons is because the same people speak up all the time. And that bores and might even annoy the rest of the participants. Thus, reviewing gets a bad name and people just want the review to finish as quickly as possible so that they can get on with the next activity. This is a rare book for two reasons: It is about reviewing (How many books have you come across on this subject?) It is about reviewing actively.(Which makes it not just rare, but unique.) With the help of this book, you can make reviews at least as engaging as the activities you are reviewing. No more discomfort. No more unwanted silences. No more superficial reviews. Just engaging and practical ways to help people learn from experience! How does that sound for a change?

Software Reading Techniques
Learn twenty software reading techniques to enhance your effectiveness in reviewing and inspecting software artifacts such as requirements specifications, designs, code files, and usability. Software review and inspection is the best practice in software development that detects and fixes problems early. Software professionals are trained to write software but not read and analyze software written by peers. As a result, individual reading skills vary widely. Because the effectiveness of software review and inspection is highly dependent on individual reading skills, differential outcomes among software readers vary by a factor of ten. Software Reading Techniques is designed to close that gap. Dr Yang‐Ming Zhu’s depth of experience as a software architect, team leader, and scientist make him singularly well-equipped to bring you up to speed on all the techniques and tips for optimizing the effectiveness and efficiency of your software review and inspection skills. What You'll Learn: Improve software review, inspection procedures, and reading skills Study traditional and modern advanced reading techniques applicable to software artifacts Master specific reading techniques for software requirements specification, software design, and code Who This Book Is For: Software professionals and software engineering students and researchers
