Abstract


Distributed software development (DSD) has been an approach increasingly adopted by companies. Hence, managing the distribution of steps in a development process among distributed teams is quite challenging. Therefore, defining strategies that consider socio technical aspects involving people, technology, and process metrics can provide the necessary support. This paper presents the experimental validation using GQM to evaluate a strategy that considers the estimated effort as an intrinsic element. The results show that these metrics are indicators to allocate requirements step in DSD - offshore outsourcing model.
