Reverse Walkthrough

Reverse Walkthrough: when the consumer of the product takes the author through it, then we can call it as Reverse walkthrough.

A reverse walkthrough is a confirmation that the consumers of a technical product have the same understanding as the author of that product. The authors ask questions about the content to confirm that the consumer has understood it. this is common in software engineering for software reviews or business process reviews when the developer reads the source/usecase/process back to the author.

The reverse walkthrough should be made when the consumers of the technical product have reviewed it and there is a risk that their understanding may not be reflective of the original intent.

Objectives & Participants:
