Abstract

Global software development (GSD) is an emerging trend of software engineering. Seeking lower cost and accessing global resources pool are the main factors towards globalization of software development. GSD exhibits certain characteristics such as distance, time zone and cross-cultural differences that differentiate global software development from co-located software development. GSD makes many activities of software development difficult so as Requirements validation. Requirements validation can only be performed against the user's intention; thus the user's participation in the validation techniques is paramount. Traditional requirements validation techniques do not fit into issues imposed by GSD because of their inherent characteristics and shortcomings. In essence, they are designed for co-located development. This paper examines the existing requirements validation techniques, describes the issues in GSD, and evaluates them as well. The results show that some of the existing requirement validation techniques require extensive informal communication that is not convenient in GSD while other techniques which can be applied effectively in GSD are not very mature yet.

GSD中的需求验证技术:综述

全球软件开发(GSD)是软件工程的一个新兴趋势。追求更低的成本和获取全球资源池是软件开发全球化的主要因素。GSD表现出某些特征，例如距离、时区和跨文化差异，这些特征将全球软件开发与位于同一地点的软件开发区分开来。GSD使许多软件开发活动变得困难，例如需求验证。需求验证只能在违背用户意愿的情况下进行;因此，用户参与验证技术是至关重要的。由于其固有的特性和缺点，传统的需求验证技术不适合GSD强加的问题。从本质上讲，它们是为协同开发而设计的。本文考察了现有的需求验证技术，描述了GSD中的问题，并对它们进行了评估。结果表明，现有的一些需求验证技术需要大量的非正式沟通，这在GSD中不方便，而其他可以在GSD中有效应用的技术还不够成熟。
