Matt...thank you very much for the kind words. You realize, of course, that you're only encouraging my behavior, and I'll have an even harder time shutting up from now on. :)

keeping your mouth shut...

Mike, you've got to be one of the most knowledgeable, well spoken people i've met. I realized from the Q&A at GV that just about no matter the topic, you can talk about it, and have something intelligent to say. It's very impressive!

Jonathan...the source of that statement is from one of our internal code review guides at Microsoft. Unfortunately, I don't have any detail as to the specific studies or projects that the numbers came from. However, I would recommend checking out Steve McConnell's "Code Complete: Second Edition"...he has lots of facts and figures around code quality.

Thank you for the access to the slides! On your first "Code Reviews" slide you have a bullet point stating that Microsoft has found that it takes 3 hours to fix a defect using code inspection versus 12 hours using testing. Would you point me in the direction of the source of that statement? I'm trying to get code inspections started where I work and am gathering statistics to help my case. Thanks!
