    (Springer-verlag Berlin, 2011) Colomo-Palacios, Ricardo; Soto-Acosta, Pedro; Mishra, Alok; Garcia-Crespo, Angel
    Software Quality Management (SQM) is a set of processes and procedures designed to assure the quality of software artifacts along with their development process. In an environment in which software development is evolving to a globalization, SQM is seen as one of its challenges. Global Software Development is a way to develop software across nations, continents, cultures and time zones. The aim of this paper is to detect if mentoring, one of the lead personnel development tools, can improve SQM of projects developed under GSD. The results obtained in the study reveal that the influence of mentoring on SQM is just temperate.

    Global Software Development and Quality Management: a Systematic Review
    (Springer-verlag Berlin, 2013) Mishra, Deepti; Mishra, Alok; Colomo-Palacios, Ricardo; Casado-Lumbreras, Cristina
    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.

    A Discussion on the Role of People in Global Software Development
    (Univ Osijek, Tech Fac, 2013) Misra, Sanjay; Colomo-Palacios, Ricardo; Pusatli, Tolga; Soto-Acosta, Pedro; Computer Engineering
    Literature is producing a considerable amount of papers which focus on the risks, challenges and solutions of global software development (GSD). However, the influence of human factors on the success of GSD projects requires further study. The aim of our paper is twofold. First, to identify the challenges related to the human factors in GSD and, second, to propose the solution(s), which could help in solving or reducing the overall impact of these challenges. The main conclusions of this research can be valuable to organizations that are willing to achieve the quality objectives regarding GSD projects.
