Inspection meeting and follow-up

During the actual inspection meeting, reviewers should focus on identifying defects and not on solutions. After the meeting, it is typical that an inspection report is produced, summarizing the results of the inspection.

Any defects that were found during the inspection should be placed in a backlog or otherwise assigned to someone for resolution, such as the author. Follow-up should take place, usually by the moderator, to ensure that any action items were completed.
