An Examination of the Effects of Offshore and Outsourced Development on the Delegation of Responsibilities to Software Components

چکیده
Offshore and outsourced development are the latest facts of life of professional software building. The easily identifiable advantages of these trends – such as cost benefits, continuous delivery and support – have already been explored to considerable extent. But how does offshore and outsourced development affect the delegation of responsibilities to components of a software system? In this paper we investigate this question by applying the RESP-DIST technique on a set of real life case studies. Our RESP-DIST technique uses metrics and a linear programming based method to recommend the reorganization of components towards an expedient distribution of responsibilities. The case studies embody varying degrees of offshore and outsourced development. Results from the case studies lead to some interesting observations on whether and how offshore and outsourced development influences software design characteristics.

Offshore outsourcing has been growing steadily since the 1990s, and this trend of sourcing services from low-cost countries such as India and China will continue in the near future. Despite the inherent challenges of offshore-outsourced software development (OOSD) projects, organizations in high-cost countries engage in OOSD projects because of compelling cost differences. We investigated the t...
