Key criteria for the inspector selection are certainly the knowledge of the inspectors with respect to the inspected artifact and with respect to the inspection process and defect detection techniques used. However, these knowledge items are often only implicitly given as it is difficult to objectively measure qualification. A knowledge management system should provide a variety of inspector related information including performance measures on past inspections in order to enable inspection managers to select those inspectors who fit the selected inspection design best.
