Culture Dimensions in Software Development Industry: the Effects of Mentoring
(2011) Casado-Lumbreras,C.; Mısra, Sanjay; Colomo-Palacios,R.; Soto-Acosta,P.; Misra,S.; Computer Engineering
Software development is a human centric and sociotechnical activity and like all human activities is influenced by cultural factors. However, software engineering is being further affected because of the globalization in software development. As a result, cultural diversity is influencing software development and its outcomes. The software engineering industry, a very intensive industry regarding human capital, is facing a new era in which software development personnel must adapt to multicultural work environments. Today, many organizations present a multicultural workforce which needs to be managed. This paper analyzes the influence of culture on mentoring relationships within the software engineering industry. Two interesting findings can be concluded from our study: (1) cultural differences affect both formal and informal mentoring, and (2) technical competences are not improved when implementing mentoring relationships. © 2011 Academic Journals.

E-mentoring in global software development teams: Success factors to develop a common culture
(IGI Global, 2013) Mıshra, Alok; Mishra,A.; Casado-Lumbreras,C.; Soto-Acosta,P.; Software Engineering
Global Software Development (GSD) teams face communication and coordination problems due to spatial, temporal, and cultural separation between team members. Cultural diversity and cross-cultural management are significant issues among GSD teams. In software development projects, mentoring dramatically reduces the learning curve for novice human resources. Due to the large amount of electronic communication instruments, a remarkable number of different e-Mentoring concepts have emerged, which provides opportunity for mentoring that would not otherwise be possible. This chapter presents key success factors to enable e-Mentoring as a tool to develop a common culture in GSD scenarios. These success factors enable the correct application of mentoring programmes and the use of this to build a common culture in organizations that perform GSD. © 2014, IGI Global.

Global Software Development and Quality Management: a Systematic Review
(2013) Mishra,D.; Mıshra, Deepti; Mishra,A.; Colomo-Palacios,R.; Mıshra, Alok; Casado-Lumbreras,C.; Computer Engineering; Software Engineering
This paper presents a systematic literature review of global software development (GSD) and quality management aspects. The main focus is to highlight the current research and practice direction in these areas. The results have been limited to peer-reviewed conference papers and journal articles, published between 2000 and 2011. The analysis reports that major studies have been performed in quality and process management, while verification and validation issues of GSD can only get limited attention among researchers. This indicates the need for future research (quantitative and qualitative) in these areas. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.
