I vaguely recall that inspections can help reduce costs, but I thought functional testing was still crucial for overall quality.

Okay, I think I've got it. The question is asking whether the statement about emphasizing inspections and changing the role of system testing is true or false. I'll need to analyze the logic carefully to determine the right answer.

True. Inspections are like a secret weapon in the battle against bugs - cheap, effective, and often overlooked. Who needs functional testing when you've got eagle-eyed inspectors?

False. Functional system testing is essential for ensuring the program works as intended, and shouldn't be downplayed just to save money.
