Software Effort Estimation is key to the success of any project since all downstream activities such as planning, budgeting, developing and Monitoring cannot be executed without clarity on the scope of the activity that needs to be performed. This is a tertiary study that follows the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) process as put forth by Kitchenham in her seminal paper, based on five criteria:...
The management of scattered datasets over multiple data sources has led to data quality issues in an organization. Master Data Management (MDM) has been used to resolve this issue by providing “a single reference of truth” to reduce data redundancy in an organization. To the best of our knowledge, there is lack of study reviewing the progress of MDM research. Therefore, this paper intends to fill...
Distributed software engineering and agility are strongly pushing on today's software industry. Due to inherent incompatibilities, for years, studying Scrum and its application in distributed setups has been subject to theoretical and applied research, and an increasing body of knowledge reports insights into this combination. Through a systematic literature review, this paper contributes a collection...
Software development organizations are globalizing their activities by adopting the phenomenon of global software development (GSD), mainly due to the significant return on investment it offers. Various challenges are associated with the software process improvement (SPI). The aim of this paper is to develop a software process improvement implementation and management model (SPIIMM) that can assist...
Software Process Improvement (SPI) has become one of the main strategic objectives in software industry. Companies make more investments in implementing software quality standards and models that focus on process assessment to improve their performance and productivity. To achieve these goals, companies focus on improving their process by means of improvement initiatives which may be implemented....
It is recognized the relevance and importance that software process improvement (SPI) and agile development have gained in the field of software engineering. Both are approaches that increase the efficiency and effectiveness of a software development organization and to enhance software products. This paper aims to identify and characterize SPI in agile environments through a systematic literature...
Software development projects in the context of the pharmaceutical industry are highly restricted. Innovation in terms of process changes within the practice of software development has to manoeuvre though the regulatory wilderness of legislation and industry standards. 49 articles have been selected using the Systematic Literature Review method to evaluate the maturity of this field of research....
This paper is based on an industrial survey conducted on software engineer motivation as previous research shows that motivation is amongst the most frequently highlighted causes of software projects failure. Motivation greatly impacts practitioner's productivity. Yet motivation is mostly ignored in software engineering literature and practice. Researchers have conducted studies on motivation in software...
The term "Smart Product" has become commonly used in recent years. This is because there has been an increasing interest in these kinds of products as part of the consumer goods industry, impacting everyday life and industry. Nevertheless, the term "Smart Product" is used with different meanings in different contexts and application domains. The use of the term "Smart Product"...
