Abstract

Software development plays a major role in the production of software products. This process must be carefully designed in order to successfully deliver the end product, and at the same time fulfill the values desired. Value-Based Software Engineering (VBSE) aims to convert the value-neutral setting in developing software to become a more value-centric approach. This study presents exploratory survey results for the purpose of examining value-based factors that are most commonly used in software development. The survey conducted at the Malaysian public sector involving a software development team as the target population. Exploratory factor analysis was used as the main data analysis strategy in this study. The results reveal that there are 28 value-based factors that are most commonly used in software development which can be classified into four classifications (success-critical stakeholders, business strategy, project characteristics and product characteristics). Our objective in further research is to develop value-based factors profile as imperative input to conduct software process tailoring.

检视软件开发中基于价值的因素:马来西亚公共部门的调查研究

软件开发在软件产品的生产中起着重要的作用。这个过程必须仔细设计，以便成功地交付最终产品，同时实现期望的价值。基于价值的软件工程(VBSE)旨在将软件开发中的价值中立的设置转变为更以价值为中心的方法。这项研究提出了探索性的调查结果，目的是检查软件开发中最常用的基于价值的因素。该调查在马来西亚公共部门进行，涉及一个软件开发团队作为目标人群。本研究采用探索性因子分析作为主要的数据分析策略。结果显示，有28个基于价值的因素在软件开发中最常用，可以分为四类(成功关键利益相关者，商业战略，项目特征和产品特征)。在进一步的研究中，我们的目标是开发基于价值的因素概要，作为执行软件过程裁剪的必要输入。
