“…Some of the models are usable for very small entities. e research work has analyzed the dissimilarities from various economic regions and discusses that very small entities in developing countries normally can manage more staff due to much lower salaries in those countries [23]. e study then proposed a process improvement process as an addition to the existing ISO/IEC 29110.…”

Software process improvement methodologies support to incessantly regulate and advance the process of software for its performance development. This development arises in terms of software product quality, time, changes reduction, and so on. The aim of software process improvement is to make software process effective and to increase quality of software product through continuous evaluation. Various approaches and frameworks are in practice for software process improvement. Early decision making concerning continuous software improvement can ultimately lead to successful software developments and growing software industry and business of software. Keeping in view the early decision making regarding continuous software improvement, the proposed study has considered a decision support system (DSS) for making decision based on multicriteria against quality management, assurance, and metrics. The necessary factors and alternatives for continuous software improvement were considered. The process of the proposed study was experimentally conducted, and results were good enough for supporting the study. The study will help practitioners in early decision making regarding software improvement based on quality management.

“…Every VSE has different ways to manage software processes, software quality and people. The feasibility to adapt ISO/IEC29110 is dependent upon VSE's cultural backgrounds (Nonoyama, Wen and Rout, 2016). Despite the fact that the current ISO/IEC29110 provides technical support to improve software capability, however, it does not fully address cultural variation in VSEs.…”

“…The purpose of ISO/IEC29110 is to facilitate measurable and tangible benefits to the clients through the expected outcomes (Wen and Rout, 2012). To help the VSE to satisfy the expected outcomes, it offers the guideline for establishing appropriate software processes (Nonoyama, Wen and Rout, 2016). The potential benefit in ISO/IEC29110 is that VSEs can establish more consistent and tailored software processes to improve their software capability level.…”

ISO/IEC29110 is an international standard of software lifecycle for small software companies also known as Very Small Entities (VSEs). While VSEs come from a diversity of cultural backgrounds, the current ISO/IEC29110 for VSEs does not address these cultural variations. VSEs from various cultural backgrounds might therefore find it difficult to adapt such a standard. This paper raises the issue that the current ISO/IEC29110 should recognize the impacts of cultural variation on software processes and cultural suggestions. It also point out one cultural dimension has a significant impact on software processes and their efficacy. Furthermore, the concepts of cultural consideration should not be limited to regions but, also cover the management perspective of individual VSE. In this paper, we identified two opposite cultural types which affect their software processes significantly. We propose that to make software process standards more practical for VSEs from different cultural backgrounds.
