How do we go about evaluating the design of a software solution? 

There are a number of techniques available to assist in this process including 

• peer checking, 
• structured walk throughs
• desk checks. 

Although each of these techniques can be used to test the correctness of algorithms and code, in this section we are concerned with ensuring the code is well designed. 

These techniques include other interested parties in the evaluation process. 

Often personnel who are somewhat removed from the detail of the development process are better able to assess the design of a solution from an unbiased perspective
