    Global Software Development and Quality Management: a Systematic Review
    (Springer-Verlag Berlin, 2013) Mishra,D.; Mishra,A.; Colomo-Palacios,R.; Casado-Lumbreras,C.
    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.

    Communications in Global Software Development: an Empirical Study Using Gtk+ Oss Repository
    (Springer-Verlag Berlin, 2011) Yu,L.; Ramaswamy,S.; Mishra,A.; Mishra,D.
    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. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
