Abstract

Planning a Global Software Development project is a challenging task, as it involves balancing both technical and business related issues. On the other hand, the selected software architecture also influences the distributed development, making the separate development of components either easier or more difficult. This kind of planning problem with multiple variables is difficult to solve using deterministic methods. In this work, we propose an approach based on genetic algorithms for planning global software projects.
