    Software Architecture in Distributed Software Development: a Review
    (Springer-verlag Berlin, 2013) Mishra, Alok; Mishra, Deepti
    This paper presents a literature review of distributed software development (DSD) or global software development (GSD) and software architecture. The main focus is to highlight the current researches, observations, as well as practice directions in these areas. The results have been limited to peer-reviewed conference papers and journal articles, and analysis reports that major studies have been performed in software architecture and global software development, while the empirical studies of interfacing distributed/global software development and software architecture has only received very little attention among researchers up to now. This indicates the need for future research in these areas.

    Software Quality Management Improvement Through Mentoring: an Exploratory Study From Gsd Projects
    (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.

    Cultural Issues in Distributed Software Development: a Review
    (Springer-verlag Berlin, 2014) Mishra, Alok; Mishra, Deepti
    Cultural impact is significant in global or distributed software development. Due to cultural differences, co-ordination and collaboration problems have been reported in case studies and this also leads to low quality deliverables and high turnover in software industry. This paper presents a literature review of distributed software development (DSD) or global software development (GSD) and cultural issues. The main focus is to highlight the current research, observations, as well as practice directions in these areas. Many studies have been performed in culture and global software development, still impact of culture in distributed software development in different dimensions received less attention among researchers.

    A Global Software Inspection Process for Distributed Software Development
    (Graz Univ Technolgoy, inst information Systems Computer Media-iicm, 2012) Mishra, Deepti; Mishra, Alok; Computer Engineering; Software Engineering
    Globally distributed software development is an established trend towards delivering high-quality software to global users at lower costs. The main expected benefits from distributed software development are improvements in development time efficiency, being close to the customers and having flexible access to greater and less costly resources. Organizations require to use their existing resources as effectively as possible, and also need to employ resources on a global scale from different sites within the organization and from partner organization throughout the world. However, distributed software development particularly face communication and coordination problems due to spatial, temporal and cultural separation between team members. Ensuring quality issues in such projects is a significant issue. This paper presents global software inspection process in the distributed software development environment towards quality assurance and management.

    Risk Analysis of Global Software Development and Proposed Solutions
    (Korema, 2010) Yu, Liguo; Mishra, Alok
    Global software development is becoming a widely accepted practice in software industry While benefits of global software development have been identified and publicized, potential risks have not been fully investigated and addressed. This paper analyzes the impacts of globalization on software development, especially its long term impact on software product quality and software industry competitiveness. This issue is rather critical for prominent software providers Potential solutions are discussed to address these issues in order to reduce the risk and take advantage of the benefits of global software development.

    A Software Inspection Process for Globally Distributed Teams
    (Springer-verlag Berlin, 2010) Mishra, Deepti; Mishra, Alok
    Globally distributed software development is an accepted trend towards delivering high-quality software to global users at lower costs. Globally distributed software development teams particularly face communication and coordination problems due to spatial, temporal and cultural separation between team members. Ensuring quality issues in such projects is an important issue. This paper presents a software inspection process in the distributed software development towards quality assurance and management.
