ContextThere is extensive interest in global software development (GSD) which has led to a large number of papers reporting on GSD. A number of systematic literature reviews (SLRs) have attempted to aggregate information from individual studies.We wish to investigate GSD SLR research with a focus on discovering what research has been conducted in the area and to determine if the SLRs furnish appropriate...
This study aims to compare the use of targeted manual searches with broad automated searches, and to assess the importance of grey literature and breadth of search on the outcomes of SLRs. We used a participant-observer multi-case embedded case study. Our two cases were a tertiary study of systematic literature reviews published between January 2004 and June 2007 based on a manual search of selected...
For other domains that have adopted the evidence-based paradigm, the impact has included research outcomes having greater influence in terms of informing and influencing practitioners and policy-makers. We examine how evidence-based practices are being adapted for use in software engineering and discuss how decision-making in our own discipline can be liberated from over-reliance on expert judgement...
The aims of this research were to investigate the applicability of the systematic literature review (SLR) process within the constraints of a 13-week masterpsilas level project and to aggregate evidence about the effectiveness of pair programming for teaching introductory programming. It was found that, with certain modifications to the process, it was possible to undertake an SLR within a limited...
The increasing power of mobile devices means that companies and institutions can now look to exposing their systems to these devices. As part of a research project, we need to re-engineer a system to expose it 'as a service' in order to enable access by multiple devices. The aim of this study was to identify approaches to the re-engineering of systems to provide multichannel service-oriented access...
