Abstract
The software organizations widely consider the cloud based global software development (CGSD) as it offer the quality projects with low cast. The adoption of CGSD is challenging due to the geographical distance between practitioners. This study aims to identify and analyses the motivators that could positively impact the implementation of CGSD paradigm. The systematic literature review approach was applied to identify the CGSD motivators reported in the literature, and were further validated with industry experts using questionnaire survey study. Moreover, the fuzzy-AHP approach was applied to prioritize the investigated motivators concerning their significance for the successful adoption of CGSD. The findings of the study provide the prioritization-based taxonomy of the investigated motivators that assists the software organizations to develop and revise their strategies for the successful implementation of CGSD.
Highlights
The cloud computing is increasingly adopted in the geographically distributed software development environment as it provides significant opportunities to execute and manage the software development process
The investigated motivators present the critical aspects of cloud based global software development (CGSD) paradigm that need to be focused by the organizations
The increasing interest of software organization in the adoption of geographically distributed software development paradigm motivated us to explore the important motivators of CGSD
Summary
The cloud computing is increasingly adopted in the geographically distributed software development environment as it provides significant opportunities to execute and manage the software development process. The availability, scalability and the dynamic attracted th e software firms to consider the cloud based global software development (CGSD). Dhar [1]stated that in software industry the outsources includes the development practices, process and decision management and the services were transformed in different geographical location across the globe. The adoption of CGSD paradigm is significantly increased [1]. Fan et al [2] mention that the CGSD paradigm educate the software development organization in terms of marked demand and the future trends.
