Reverse Walkthrough
A reverse walkthrough is a process in which the reader or consumer of a technical product takes the author through it. A reverse walkthrough is a confirmation that the consumers of a technical product have the same understanding as the author of that product. The author(s) ask questions about the content to confirm that the reader has understood it.
This is common in software engineering for software reviews or use case/ business process reviews when the developer reads the source/use case/process back to the author.
The reverse walkthrough should be made when the consumers of the technical product have reviewed it and there is a risk that their understanding may not be reflective of the original intent.

Famous quotes containing the word reverse:
“During the late war [the American Revolution] I had an infallible rule for deciding what [Great Britain] would do on every occasion. It was, to consider what they ought to do, and to take the reverse of that as what they would assuredly do, and I can say with truth that I was never deceived.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
