- 3. TOOLS - • REVIEWPROCESS SUPPORT TOOLS • STATIC ANALYSIS TOOLS • MODELING TOOLS

- 5. • Spreadsheets andtext documents can be used for review , but a review tool which is designed for the purpose is more likely to do a better job
- 6. FEATURES • a commonreference in different situations. • storing and sorting review comments. • communicating comments to relevant people. • coordinating online reviews. • keeping track of comments, including defects found, and providing statistical information.

- 12. • Modelling toolsare basically ‘model-based testing tools’ which actually generates test inputs or test cases from stored information about a particular model. • Modeling tools help to validate models of the system or software.
- 13. FEATURES • Identifying inconsistenciesand defects within the model; • Helping to identify and prioritize areas of the model for testing; • Predicting system response and behaviour under various situations, such as level of load; • Helping to understand system functions and identify test conditions using a modeling language such as UML.
