Summary
Global Software Development (GSD) is a phenomenon that has lately been gaining more and more attention in the software industry. The concept of GSD became known in the early 1990s and continues to be a developing topic today [1]. Stakeholders from various countries have involvement in developing software using GSD [2]. GSD can be a means for all countries in their economic development. Countries such as South Africa, Egypt, Mauritius, Ghana, India, China and the Philippines have an active role in GSD. Many factors are influential, including geographic location, common language, cultural compatibility, political stability, low cost of living and availability of skilled and cheap labour [3]. Many countries have very high potential but cannot become active players in GSD
