Walkthroughs are semi formal types of reviews.The programmer or developer who has written the code formally presents it to a group of five or six programmers.The participants or reviewers receive the copy in advance so that they can comment or even ask questions during the review.To make a review more effective atleast one senior programmer is expected.
The presenter reads the code line by line,function by function to the participants.The reviewers raise anything that looks out to be suspicious.It is very important for a presenter to write a report after the review to tell how he will address any issues that are discovered during the review.
Walkthroughs are not as effective as inspections.
