132 ;;Quote: design errors: inconsistencies, inefficiencies, ambiguities, inflexibilities
133 ;;Quote: conventional design reviews are often incomplete due to information overload
133 ;;Quote: focused design reviews on one type of error with questionnaires answered from the design documentation
343 ;;Quote: a design should be well structured, simple, efficient, adequate, flexible, practical, implementable, and standardized
134 ;;Quote: each module includes basic assumptions which will not change and assumptions about correct usage
134+;;Quote: assumptions about incorrect-usage describe the undesired events of a module
136 ;;Quote: when reviewing consistency between assumptions and functions, ask which assumptions allow a function's implementation
349 ;;Quote: when reviewing software, prefer one-on-one discussions instead of protracted group discussions
