“…Unfortunately, they are not utilised and this will affect the basic understanding of applying them, knowing the challenges, what should be improved and hence the development of tools to support the processes. This, therefore, calls for efforts to factor investigating these knowledge areas deliberately and the practice in the corresponding practice to generate useful insights after all literature reveals that processes like requirements [19], [36], [131] and software testing [123], [132] are responsible for lots of challenges of software development process in practice of the SSCs. It would still be interesting to know if perhaps the practitioner's skill set is responsible for this maybe because of choice the practitioners tend to skew their skills and practice to other areas other than requirements, software testing and maintenance.…”

Small software companies face numerous challenges of complexity, unstructured software development processes and scarce resources. This notwithstanding, the companies have dominated the software market by 80 percent. The practice and products of these companies are still persistently marred by quality issues arising from the processes, with evidence indicating that process tools do not fit the unique contexts in which they operate. Significant strides have been made in transforming software development practice; however, the challenges are still evidently apparent. Hence the need to establish how knowledge areas are applied in process practice, understand the context of software development and its implication in practice, how process tools are utilised in practice and evaluate quality of research in software literature The researchers undertook a systematic mapping study to determine the state of practice in empirical literature on software engineering of SSCs by examining and classifying 1096 publications. Other than the finding that research quality was low and affecting generalisation and transferability, the results also revealed interesting findings which we finally consolidated and integrated to develop two contributions (i) a software development process adoption theoretical framework which provides new insights of understanding software development and (ii) a 3-point guideline for research quality.

“…Small companies often fail to afford the cost overrun, which is necessary for the popular frameworks. In Africa for example, the case is different although the SSC face the same challenges of lack of implementation of best practices, lack of adopted standards and generally disorganized software processes; there is also no evidence in literature, of attempts to localize the existing frameworks for SPI [32][33][34][35][36].…”

Poor software quality due to failure to organize development processes using SPI is visible in small software companies, although these companies are significant to industry and world economy; the challenge of quality needs much more attention. The development of different frameworks to sort the development process in SSC continues to leave a lot to be desired. This work leads us to the development of a comparison framework which will ultimately end with an adaptable SPA and SPI framework for SSC. From a SLR to identify the factors affecting SSC and mapping them to the specific processes in which they occur, we analyze the software development environment and identify SPI frameworks that have registered success in similar environments of SSC to help us adopt best practices from which comparison is made to generate requirements for an adaptable SPI framework within context for small companies.
