摘要
Follow The Sun (FTS)是全球软件开发的一个特例。FTS意味着软件工作每天从一个开发地点转移到另一个开发地点——相隔许多时区。主要的好处是缩短了开发时间。令人惊讶的是,与离岸外包的广泛趋势不同,FTS很少被实践,而且经常被误解。在这篇文章中,我们为理解FTS提供了一个基础,包括定义、在生命周期中的位置描述,以及方法的选择。我们还介绍了第一个准实验的结果,该实验旨在测试FTS并测量软件工作的速度。这个准实验是我们探索FTS及其影响的综合研究的一部分。
Follow The Sun Software Development: New Perspectives, Conceptual Foundation, and Exploratory Field Study
Follow The Sun (FTS) is a special case of global software development. FTS means that software work is handed off every day from one development site to the next -- many time zones away. The main benefit is reduction in development duration. Surprisingly, unlike the broader trend of offshore outsourcing, FTS is practiced rarely and misunderstood often.In this article we present a foundation for understanding FTS including a definition, a description of its place in the life cycle, and choice of methodologies. We also present the outcomes of a first quasi-experiment designed to test FTS and measure the speed of software work. This quasi-experiment is part of our comprehensive research to explore FTS and its implications.
