Test-Driven Global Software Development

چکیده
In a global software development project, distributed teams need to have a consistent view of the system even in the face of frequently changing requirements. Thus how precisely requirements and changes therein are communicated to remote developers becomes a critical issue. In this position paper, we hypothesize that a test-driven methodology may help keep development across multiple sites consistent with changing requirements and with each other.

A Model-Driven Decision Support System for Software Cost Estimation (Case Study: Projects in NASA60 Dataset)
Estimating the costs of software development is one of the most important activities in software project management. Inaccuracies in such estimates may cause irreparable loss. A low estimate of the cost of projects will result in failure on delivery on time and indicates the inefficiency of the software development team. On the other hand, high estimates of resources and costs for a project wil...

We present results of a case study looking at how domain knowledge is communicated to developers using executable acceptance test driven development at a large software development company. We collected and analyzed qualitative data on a large software development team's testing practices and their use of a custom-built executable acceptance testing tool. Our findings suggest that executable ac...
متن کاملMeta-Model for Global Software Development to Support Portability and Interoperability in Global Software Development
Global Software Development (GSD) considers the coordinated activity of software development that is not localized and central but geographically distributed. To support coordination among sites, usually it is aimed to adopt the same development and execution platform. Unfortunately, adopting a single platform might not be always possible due to technical or organizational constraints of the di...
