Abstract: The efficiencies of the various reading techniques are at varying degrees. Earlier researcher on the efficiency of reading techniques reveal that perspective-based reading is more efficient than the other traditional reading techniques: ad-hoc and checklist. This aside the studies reviewed in this study, placed more emphasis on the effectiveness of reading techniques. The efficiency of these techniques received little consideration. This study assesses the efficiency of Scoring Rubric Assisted Reading (SRAR). The technique uses a checklist-like mechanism to assist readers in finding defects in software requirements documents and artifacts. No prior research has been carried out on assessing the efficiency of SRAR in the past. Reading time and reading efforts were used as measurement metrics. The research approach employed involved the following steps: using SRAR to read artifacts, detecting defects, measuring the time used in the reading process per artifact and computing the effort expended per artifact for each round/iteration of review. Preliminary results show the efficiency of this mechanism and technique.
