Description
The most advantageous features of Global Software Development (GSD) are its cost saving benefits and the easily availability of resources. Also the technological advancement especially in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) makes GSD a
common practice in software
industry. But GSD is also facing a
lot of challenges. Maintaining
quality in software development
processes and products in GSD
environments is one of the major
challenges. This paper presents a
survey on the challenges and factors
which impact on the quality of the
products in GSD environments. This
report identifies that most of the
factors which affect the quality of
software product appear as part of
two major challenges: requirements
and coordination. We further
demonstrate that how these two
challenges are affected by several
factors. Finally, we present the
possible solution to reduce the
complexity of those various factors.
