This paper analyzes the impacts of globalization on software development, especially its long term impact on software product quality and software industry competitiveness. This issue is rather critical for prominent software providers. Potential solutions are discussed to address these issues in order to reduce the risk and take advantage of the benefits of global software development.
Globalni razvoj programske podrške postaje naširoko prihvaćen način rada u industriji programske podrške. Dok su njegove dobre strane uočene i obznanjene, mogući rizici nisu u potpunosti istraženi i ...odgovarajuće adresirani. Ovaj članak analizira učinke globalnog razvoja programske podrške, posebice njegov dugoročni utjecaj na kvalitetu programa i konkurentnost industrije programske podrške. Taj je moment razmjerno kritičan uglednim proizvođačima programa. Diskutirana su moguća rješenja za adresiranje tih problema kako bi se rizik umanjio i iskoristile dobre strane globalnog razvoja programske podrške.
U literaturi se može naći priličan broj radova koji se bave rizicima, izazovima i rješenjima za globalni razvoj softvera (GSD). Međutim, utjecaj ljudskog faktora na uspjeh projekata o globalnom ...razvoju softvera zahtijeva dodatno istraživanje. Ovaj rad ima dvojak cilj. Prvo, identificirati izazove povezane s ljudskim faktorima u GSD i, drugo, predložiti rješenje (rješenja) koje bi moglo pomoći u rješavanju ili reduciranju cjelokupnog djelovanja tih izazova. Glavni zaključci ovog istraživanja mogli bi biti važni organizacijama koje žele postići kvalitetne rezultate projekata koji se bave globalnim razvojem softvera.
