Areas of interest addressed by a structured walkthrough:
1) Program requirements
The structured walkthrough uncovers any inconsistencies between requirements stated by
the users and those that the analyst is proposing.
2) Program designs
Structured walkthroughs determine whether the proposed design will meet requirements of
the system and user. If the review team finds any discrepancies between the design and the
requirements, they should provide solutions to the discrepancies.
3) Programs
The structured walkthrough is conducted to examine the program development along with
its documentation. The programs are compared with their specific design specifications to
determine whether the specifications are being satisfied. Any programming errors are dealt
with.
4) Testing
The structured walkthrough assists in development of test data that can be used to detect
system design errors.
