Its clear from the above table that defect removal is most effective the Integration testing phase.

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% comfort zone. Hence the product was able to meet the 95% bench mark. Hence we can infer that the reviews and inspections where effective.

Defects removed at each step * 100%defects on step entry + defects injected in the step

Defects removed at current phase * 100%defects removed on current step + subsequest step

( 1 - Defects removed at current phase * 100% ) * 100 defects removed on current step + subsequest step

Yes, the final product that was shipped to the customer lies in the 95%-100% comfort zone. Hence the product was able to meet the 95% bench mark. Hence we can infer that the reviews and inspections where effective.
