Abstract:
Abstract— Distributed Software Development has become an option for software companies to expand their horizons and work with geographically dispersed teams, exploiting the advantages brought by this approach. However, this way of developing software enables new challenges to arise, such as the inexistence of a formal, normalized model of a project’s data and artifacts accessible to all the individuals involved, which makes it harder for them to communicate, understand each other and what is specified on the project’s artifacts. With that being said, this paper proposes a knowledge management tool that utilizes a domain-specific ontology for distributed development environments, aiming to help distributed teams overcome the challenges brought by this modality of software development proposing techniques and best practices. Thus, the main output of this work is Ontology-based System to Support the software development process with distributed teams.
