Analysis of Offshore Software Development by Process Growth Visualization

Abstract

To make criteria for the activities of offshore software development, this paper proposes visualization technique for organization status. Basic promise under this research is that there are twelve capabilities and each capability has five levels. At first this paper introduces a knowledge management system, called SPICE with visualization functions. The function includes individual's growth path, group's growth path and dependency structure. Then, explaining the application domain on offshore software development, this paper describes experimental analysis and their visualization. The future perspective is also examined in detail.
