Introduction
Software development is a complex activity which requires application of innovative ideas without compromising the reliability and quality of the end products. It requires better tools and techniques to be employed. Recent growth in knowledge management notion has also been seen as highly instrumental in improving organizational performance. In order to achieve the goal of efficient production of software and effective development processes, numerous KM approaches and standardization efforts have been suggested. However, a majority of the organizations are finding it difficult to adopt the guidelines and approaches, as there are numerous inherent issues. This book will focus on bringing these inherent issues to the forefront to help practitioners in gaining maturity of their software development process.
Objective of the Book
The aim of this book is to: 1) invite and publish high quality original research contributions on the specialized theme of KM applications relating to software development processes; 2) to examine the impact of KM on software development processes; 3) to investigate the inherent issues and limitations with respect to KM strategies and 4) to disseminate the elements of good practices suggested and employed by researchers and practitioners in this field.
Target Audience
The book is intended for students and researchers working in the domain of software engineering. This book will also be helpful for software professionals working in the industry to employ best practices in their organizations to successfully employ knowledge management procedures. Furthermore, it will be a relevant resource for university libraries.
Recommended topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
· Strategies to promote KM in software development
· Empirical studies of adopting KM methodologies in software houses
· Knowledge management to enhance productivity in software development teams
· Lessons learned
· KM approaches for requirements elicitation and system design
· Best practices in relation to KM in software development processes
· Testing methodologies and novel KM paradigms
· Software quality standards in relation to KM
· Metrics to evaluate KM applications and strategies
· Workflow systems and KM methodologies
· Tools and technologies for effective KM
· KM and global software engineering
· Issues and barriers to effective KM implementation
· Case studies related to KM in software development processes.
· Software development process models, KM perspectives
· KM transfer in software development.
· KM for effective communication in software projects
· Software testing, errors and bug reporting KM.
· KM in iterative software development methodologies
