Abstract
The use and size of software are both growing, due to the advances in ICTs, resulting in increased software complexity. The software vendors overcome this complexity by decomposing the product into different components and then these components are developed in-house, outsourced or purchased as off the shelf (OTS) components. The next step is to integrate these components into a final product. In our previous work we identified, through systematic literature review (SLR), a list of nine critical success factors (CSFs) for global software development (GSD) vendors in the software integration process. In order to implement the identified CSFs by GSD vendors, we conducted another SLR study and identified a total of 116 practices/solutions. These practices will assist GSD vendors in the implementation of the identified CSFs in order to overcome the complexity of the integration process in GSD projects.
