The software industry is moving swiftly towards agile methodology to ensure quality, reliability and scalability of software products delivered since it provides alternatives to the traditional project management techniques. Moreover, the agile approach also helps in business to address the problem of unpredictability. Scrum is the most commonly used agile method applied to the projects having fast...
Agile processes are widely used for the purpose of software project development sine they have overcome the limitations faced in traditional software project development. Risk management is a crucial part in project development which helps in eliminating the risks prevailing in software project. Even though risk management is associated with agile approach, still there prevails the scope for improvement...
Although internships contribute to the professional development of a junior engineer, it is not straightforward to achieve a fruitful outcome for either the intern or the hosting the organisation. We discuss a structured framework based on Agile and Scrum concepts with the goal of providing in a flexible manner a mixture of communication, technical and research skills. Not only interns get hands-on...
Considering the growing utilization of agile methodologies in software development, the tasks execution ends, sometimes, not being efficient. It might consider that, in concern of agile development in small and middle companies, this inefficiency may exists for teams witch the planning sprint development walks side by side with the maintenance of productions software. Therefore, it's notable the propensity...
The use of testing framework has become a growing requirement in software development. This framework is a kind of software which can automate the pre-generated test cases. So, for developing test automation software an incremental and timeframe iterative approach known as Agile Software Development Methodology can be used. It provides software developers a working test framework early with respect...
The software industry in India has been growing at phenomenal rates over the last twenty years. Currently stands at $ 70 Billion in revenue and targeted towards $300 Billion size in next four years. It has been showing constant growth of over 20 % consistently irrespective of global slowdown and - anti offshore policy by some countries in near future.

In this paper we present the results of a case study at two offshore projects that recently adopted the agile way of working. We analyze their multi-site governance activities adopted and adjusted based on the Scrum methodology. Furthermore, we identify those changes that the Scrum adoption brought, in comparison with the previous governance structure of the Rational Unified Process (RUP). We find...
Cyber forensics is the process of seizure, acquisition and analysis of digital evidence. Development of cyber forensics tools is often challenging as more and more variations of digital devices are marketed rapidly and new cyber crime scenarios are reported frequently. If the team follows a traditional development method with a long planning phase, the product will be obsolete by the time it is released...
From 2005 to 2008, we explored different models of collaboration in student software development projects. In the past, project roles were distributed across students in the US, Cambodia, India and Thailand. What was common to our previous models was the co-location of developers, the client and quality assurance roles being the ones that were commonly distributed. A loose waterfall software development...
This paper describes a global software development project undertaken in an educational setting with students from Senegal, India and the US. Similar initiatives have been carried out for five years at Pace University, but it was the first time that it adopted Agile Methodologies and Scrum for the development of a mobile application. Another novel aspect was that developers were distributed across...
The premises considered by this work are that projects development in graduate courses is important for knowledge consolidation. However, one of the problems is that, usually, students are not prepared to manage and to be managed. This situation causes higher effort waste and is time-consuming. Additionally, the quality is decreased due to poor self-management and inadequate division of activities...
Since its formation in 2005, the Web21C SDK team, has been using an agile methodology for the development of the BT Web21C SDK and related services. The team is made of 40 members distributed between the UK and the US. At the core of its agility is a continuously evolving toolbox consisting of tools selected by the team; it supports four core practices adopted to manage the development activities:...
