[comp.software-eng] Looking for Fagan's Inspection article

bill@banana.fedex.com (bill daniels) (05/28/91)

Does anyone have a copy of the _IBM System Journal_, no. 3, 1976, which
contains M. E. Fagan's article, "Design and Code Inspections to Reduce
Errors in Program Development"?

I am very interested in getting a copy of this article or getting the 
back issue of the journal.

Thanks,

bill daniels

Er, according to the References in "Advances in Software Inspections"
ME Fagan, IEEE Trans on Software Engineering, SE-12 No 7, July 1986,
reference 2 (p. 751) is:

ME Fagan, "Design and ..." IBM Systems J., Vol 15, no 3; 1979.

The exact ref as I have it is Michael E. Fagan, "Design and code
inspections to reduce errors in program development,"
IBM Sys J., v. 15, n. 3, 1976, pp. 219-248.

I have a copy and am willing to mail out copies provided you send me 
a mailer with sufficient postage for 35 8.5x11" pages plus $.07 per page
copying fee.  Hey, I'm not in this for the money but it's not free to me.

A better source (than me ;-) may be an IEEE Tutorial:
Victor R. Basili and F. Terry Baker, _Tutorial on Structured Programming:
Integrated Practices_, IEEE Computer Society Press, 1981.

Order from:  IEEE Computer Society		IEEE Service Center
	     10662 Los Vaqueros Circle		445 Hoes Lane
	     Los Alamitos, CA 90720		Piscataway, NJ 08854


Perhaps one of our colleges in CA or NJ can call IEEE and let us know
whether this tutorial is still in print.

Oooh oohoh, me too, me too!  Can some kind soul please send one
to me, too?

Shipping, postage, etc. will be paid, as will lots of good karma :-)

With Gratitude
