Formal reviews constitute a series of reviews of a software system, usually conducted at major milestones in the software development life cycle. They are used to improve development visibility and product quality and provide the basic means of communication between the project team, management, and user representatives. Formal reviews are most often implemented for medium-size to large development projects, although small projects can employ a less rigorous form of the technique.

Formal Reviews

The most common types of formal reviews are held at the completion of the requirements, preliminary design, detailed (critical) design, coding, and installation phases. Although names of these reviews may vary by organization, some generally recognized names are requirements review, preliminary design review (PDR), critical design review (CDR), code construction review, and acceptance test review.
