Abstract
Objectives: To identify the barriers as resistance factors that influence the implementation of Software Process Improvement (SPI) in Saudi software companies. Methods/Analysis: This research has developed a questionnaire on a sample of Saudi companies that have implemented SPI. The questionnaire performed from April to July 2018. Forty companies in Saudi Arabia, which are based on software process improvement, have been identified. 251 of 300 professionals who were working in these software companies responded. Findings: The human factors, tools and technology factors, and budget and estimates factors, are playing a vital role in the success of the SPI project. Application: This research provides a comprehensive overview for senior management, especially in Saudi Arabia, to manage the future projects by applying preventive actions. Keywords: Barriers, Resistance Factors, SPI Implementation, SPI in Saudi Arabia, Software Process Improvement, SPI
Highlights
Nowadays, there is agrowth in awarenesssurrounded by the Software engineering community to develop distinguished quality product from the processes of superior-quality software development
The questionnaire performed from April 2nd to July 5th, 2018. 40 companies that are presently using the project, which are based on Software Process Improvement (SPI) have been identified around Saudi Arabia. 251 of professionals who were working in these software companies responded
This research thoroughly identified and analysed v arious important factors for resistance that influences the adoption improvement project of the software process development especially in various companies that are operated in Saudi Arabia
Summary
There is agrowth in awarenesssurrounded by the Software engineering community to develop distinguished quality product from the processes of superior-quality software development. This process has been commenced by the efforts[1, 2]. It can be expressing that quality of the process used to build the quality product[3]. In4 proposed a detailed survey, which shows that the software project may fail on several reasons if it is not handled with an effective management. It can be successfully handled by effective management. Various researchers who are studying SPI and its practitioners are re-concentrating their works on the software engineering process aspect with this concept
