High Perceived-Value Requirements Engineering Practices for Outsourced Software Projects

An Empirical Study Identifying High Perceived Value Requirements Engineering Practices in Global Software Development Projects

Requirements-related problems are reported to be the main reason in failures of global software development (GSD) projects. There is not much work done to improve requirements practices for GSD projects. In this paper, we report results of a study conducted in an ongoing project whose aim is to develop a framework for the requirements engineering process of global software development projects....

Control in Internal and Outsourced Software Projects

Although the choice of control mechanisms in systems development projects has been extensively studied in prior research, differences in such choices across internal and outsourced projects and their effects of systems development performance have not received much attention. this study attempts to address this gap using data on 57 outsourced and 79 internal projects in 136 organizations. Our r...

The Value of Outsourced Software

Outsourcing of work to support software development and services is seen primarily as a transfer of labor to another shore. But intellectual property, as software, is transferred as well. There are risks when IP is transferred. In order to assess the extent of those risks, one needs to know the value of that concerned software. Software is an intangible good, and the value of intangibles is bas...

Significant Software Requirements Engineering Practices in Systems Engineering Context

Utilization of the software is increasing day by day. The advancement in hardware and software have paved the way for systems engineering that supports the development of complex systems encompassing software as a part. Such systems need more vigorous Requirements Engineering (RE) practices and guidelines to cater the multidimensional needs. The objective of this study is to identify the signif...
