Main Description
Some strategies which can be used to help verify the implementation are: Pair programming. By pairing to implement the code in the first place, you effectively evaluate the code as its being written. Read through the code for common mistakes. Consider keeping a checklist of common mistakes that you make, as a reminder reference. Use tools to check for implementation errors and inappropriate code. For example, use a static code rule checker or set the compiler to the most detailed warning level. Use tools that can visualize the code. Code visualization, such as the UML visualizations in the Eclipse IDE, help developers identify issues such as excessive coupling or circular dependencies. Perform informal, targeted code inspections. Ask colleagues to review small critical sections of code and code with significant churn. Avoid reviewing large sections of code. Use a tester to ensure the implementation is testable and understandable to testing resources.
