6 Do you think reviews and inspections were effective? Explain.

Yes, the final product that was shipped to the customer lies in the 95%-100
able to meet the 95% bench mark. Hence we can infer that the review

Formula 1 used for front end phases

Defects removed at each step * 100%

defects on step entry + defects injected in the step

Formula 2 used for back end phases

Defects removed at current phase * 100%

defects removed on current step + subsequest step
