Abstract:
As a reflection of globalization, Distributed Software Development (DSD) has become a mainstream approach, in which the cooperation among globally distributed software development teams has the potential to reduce cost and development time. However, in order to make such promises a reality, it is important to find teams with specific technical background, required for implementing software modules that constitute the software product under development. Thus, it is a key aspect to contrast technical background of development teams against specified technical requirements for implementing the software project, making possible to select the most skilled teams to develop each software module. In such a context, this paper presents the evaluation of an application ontology that supports selection processes of distributed development teams, which are technically skilled to implement software modules in distributed software projects. Experimental results show that the evaluated ontology represents and formalizes an extremely complex problem in a systematic and structured way, allowing its direct or customized adoption in selection processes of globally distributed development teams.
