    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.

    Srcmimm: the Software Requirements Change Management and Implementation Maturity Model in the Domain of Global Software Development Industry
    (Springer, 2023) Akbar, Muhammad Azeem; Khan, Arif Ali; Mahmood, Sajjad; Mishra, Alok
    The software industry has widely adopted global software development (GSD) to gain economic benefits. Organizations that engage in GSD face various challenges, the majority being associated with requirements change management (RCM). The key motive of this study is to develop a requirement change management and implementation maturity model (SRCMIMM) for the GSD industry that could help the practitioners to assess and manage their RCM activities. A systematic literature review and questionnaire survey approach are used to identify and validate the critical success factors (CSFs), critical challenges (CCHs), and the related best practices of the RCM process. The investigated CSFs and CCHs are classified into five maturity levels based on the concepts of the existing maturity models in other domains, practitioners' feedback, and academic research. Every maturity level comprises different CSFs and CCHs that can help assess and manage a firm's RCM capability. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed model, four case studies are conducted in different GSD firms. The SRCMIMM has been developed to assist GSD organizations in improving their RCM process in efficiency and effectiveness.

    Communications in Global Software Development: an Empirical Study Using Gtk Plus Oss Repository
    (Springer-verlag Berlin, 2011) Yu, Liguo; Ramaswamy, Srini; Mishra, Alok; Mishra, Deepti
    Effective communication is an important issue for global software development. Due to geographical limitations and travel challenges, face-to-face meetings are expensive to schedule and run. Web-based communication methods are thus the primary means of communication in global software development efforts. In general. two types of web-based communication mechanisms exist: synchronous and asynchronous communications: each serves a unique role. In this paper, we present an empirical study of the communication mechanisms in GNOME GTK+, a small-sized open-source distributed software project, in which Internet Relay Chat (IRC) and Mailing Lists are used as synchronous and asynchronous communication methods, respectively. The objective of this study is to identify how real time and asynchronous communication methods could be used and balanced across global software development projects.

    Distributed Information System Development: Review of Some Management Issues
    (Springer-verlag Berlin, 2009) Mishra, Deepti; Mishra, Alok
    Due to the proliferation of the Internet and globalization, distributed information system development is becoming popular. In this paper we have reviewed some significant management issues like process management, project management, requirements management and knowledge management issues which have received much attention in distributed development perspective. In this literature review we found that areas like quality and risk management issues could get only scant attention in distributed information system development.
