I'm having this debate at the moment. I work on the basis of 1500 words per hour, wich typically equates to 4 or 5 pages an hour. I'm advised that the "recommended rate" in our organization is 22.4 pages per hour. No-one is owning up to determining the recommended rate...
My response suggests applying the
Capture-Recapture Method to indicate the likely level of defects remaining following reviews conducted at different rates, as a proxy for the review effectiveness. Does anyone have any other suggestions for objective evaluation?
