Main Description
This is the main activity in a guided inspection. As an example, consider the activity diagram below. If this were the artifact under inspection, the inspection team would select a scenario, instantiate it for specific values, and then ask the development team to trace the scenario on the activity diagram. The development team might take a printout of teh diagram and draw the lines shown in the figure below. The inspection team would determine whether this was the expected path or not.
