Tips

register
Tech-industry jargon, calqued from English 'walkthrough'. Standard in Chinese software/UX teams: 代码走查 (dàimǎ zǒuchá, 'code walkthrough'), 设计走查 (shèjì zǒuchá, 'design walkthrough'). Outside tech, native speakers may not recognize it — use 检查 (jiǎnchá) or 审查 (shěnchá) in general contexts.
memory
走 ('walk') + 查 ('inspect') — literally 'walk-and-check'. The metaphor mirrors English 'walkthrough' exactly: you mentally walk through the steps, checking each one. Same construction as 走访 (zǒufǎng, 'go and visit') and 走读 (zǒudú, 'commute to school').
