Q: What are the parameters of peer reviews?
A:
By definition, parameters are values on which something else depends. Peer reviews (also known as PDRs) depend on the attendance and active participation of several key people; the facilitator, task lead, test lead, and at least one additional reviewer.
The attendance of these four people are usually required for the approval of the PDR. According to company policy, depending on your company, other participants are often invited, but generally not required for approval.
PDRs depend on the facilitator, sometimes known as the moderator, who controls the meeting, keeps the meeting on schedule, and records all suggestions from all attendees.
PDRs greatly depend on the developer, also known as the designer, author, or task lead -- usually a software engineer -- who is most familiar with the project, and most likely able to answer any questions or address any concerns that may come up during the PFR.
PDRs greatly depend on the tester, also known as test lead, or bench test person -- usually another software engineer -- who is also familiar with the project, and most likely able to answer any questions or address any concers that may come up during the PDR.
PDRs greatly depend on the participation of additional reviewers and additional attendees who often make specific suggestions and recommendations, and ask the largest number of questions.
