Walk Through

  As mentioned before, the walk-through and the code-inspection technique are related to each other. The main difference is that the participants are supposed to think about good tests for the program during their preparation, when a walk trough is planned. In the meeting they will execute those tests together manually on a sheet of paper or on a blackboard.

Once more, there is disagreement in the literature about the author's presence in the testing team. The main reason against his presence  is that his work should be able to speak for itself. The documentation  has to be clear, and ambiguous design  or specification  is taboo anyway.
