Conceptual Framework for Requirements Change Management in Globally Distributed Software Systems

Abstract

The following research work is conducted to eke out requirements that are changing frequently in geographically dispersed environment (GDE). Successfully and efficiently cope up with the changing requirements that are key to satisfy customers in geographically dispersed environment and in this appropriate procedural modeling is presented here to deal with changing requirements to cut overall cost of the project and increase profitability by gratify the customers and the stakeholders. As software design, development is a complete systematic process and changing in the existing software in this context is always considered as malleable. Especially requirements change request is inevitable and it is difficult to manage the changing requirements in globally developed software systems. In our research work here we have highlighted the key aspects in this requirements change in GDE in a comprehensive manner (literature review section) and we have also proposed a detailed framework to effectively tackle changing requirements in geographically dispersed systems besides we have validated the presented procedural modeling through empirical study and latter with case scenario. Systematic literature review has been performed in this to intend the better present an efficient methodology in this and to effectively eke out the evolving project's requirements in geographically dispersed environment Changing requirements in geologically dispersed environment can effectively be managed if the proposed framework for requirements change management in GDSs followed and it will mitigate the risk and challenges which we have to face in global software development and as well as it will cut down the overall project's cost and profitability will expectedly increase.
