With regard to the planning, no more details are required.

After that a member of the software inspection team presents the contents of the object to be assessed in a brief and logical way. The individual inspectors react with various necessary questions while being supported by the assessment criteria and possibly also by historical data. The developer plays only a passive role. He is ready to answer questions. Discussions are limited to the identification of faults. The moderator will only interfere if the discussion diverts significantly from the subject or the objective of the software inspection. A person taking minutes makes notes of all detected errors faults. After ending the discussion, the listed faults are presented as a whole and investigated with regard to completeness by all participants together.
