“…The separation of work geographically and organisationally has involved longer and more complex value chains (Gupta, 2006;Gupta et al, 2006). The second driver of fragmented value chains is attributable to advances in and the standardisation of that have made skills more portable between firms (Miozzo and Soete, 2001;Grimshaw and Miozzo, 2006), while the growth of accepted industry standards has reduced the risks of offshoring (Aspray, 2006;Graz, 2008). Taken together these have increased the distances over which the arbitrage of knowledge and labour costs can occur.…”

“…Numerous test centers have emerged and often offer lower cost and higher quality when compared to inhouse testing. In 2007, the test outsourcing market was worth more than USD 25 billion and growing at 20% annually, making test outsourcing the fastest growing segment of the application services market [10], [11].…”

Abstract-Database-centric applications (DCAs) are common in enterprise computing, and they use nontrivial databases. Testing of DCAs is increasingly outsourced to test centers in order to achieve lower cost and higher quality. When releasing proprietary DCAs, its databases should also be made available to test engineers, so that they can test using real data. Testing with real data is important, since fake data lacks many of the intricate semantic connections among the original data elements. However, different data privacy laws prevent organizations from sharing these data with test centers because databases contain sensitive information. Currently, testing is performed with fake data that often leads to worse code coverage and fewer uncovered bugs, thereby reducing the quality of DCAs and obliterating benefits of test outsourcing.We show that a popular data anonymization algorithm called k-anonymity seriously degrades test coverage of DCAs. We propose an approach that uses program analysis to guide selective application of k-anonymity. This approach helps protect sensitive data in databases while retaining testing efficacy. Our results show that for small values of k ≤ 6 it is possible to retain a higher test coverage with our approach than with the current state-of-the-art k-anonymization algorithm, Datafly. However, with either our approach or Datafly, for k ≥ 7, test coverage drops to less than 30% from the original coverage of more than 70%, thus making it difficult to achieve good quality when testing DCAs while applying data privacy.

“…La globalización y apertura de canales de comunicación internaciones hace posible ejecutar los procesos productivos de software en ubicaciones geográficas disgregadas (Aspray, Mayadas & Vardi, 2006;Jiménez, Piattini & Viscaino, 2009). Este modelo productivo se conoce con el nombre de desarrollo global de software y resulta ampliamente benéfico para las empresas productoras de software.…”

Ingenium, 9(23), [17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] Modelado de procesos en el desarrollo global de software ResumenEl modelado de procesos software es una actividad que se consolida como estrategia básica para mejorar la producción de aplicaciones software. El advenimiento del desarrollo global de software con actores disgregados alrededor de todo el mundo oferta grandes beneficios a la labor de producción de aplicaciones software; sin embargo, impone retos y dificultades a superar para lograr su cometido. El presente artículo presenta GSDModel, un marco de trabajo que pretende guiar el modelado de procesos en el contexto del desarrollo global de software. Palabras claveDesarrollo global de software; modelado de procesos; procesos software. AbstractSoftware process modeling is an activity which is becoming a basic strategy to improve the production of software applications. The advent of global software development with actors dispersed around the world offer great benefits to the work of producing software applications, however, imposes challenges and difficulties to achieve their goal. This article presents GSDModel, a framework that aims to guide the process modeling in the context of global software development.
