Identification of Patterns for the Formation of Software Development Projects Teams

The formation of software development project teams is carried out, conventionally, in an empiric manner; however, in this process, multiple factors should be considered. In literature, the works where this process is modeled are scarce, and most do not consider aspects linked to the formation of the team as a whole. In this paper, a group of patterns that contribute to the formation of software development projects teams are identified through the use of the Delphi method, psychological tests, and data mining tools. The paper identifies patterns that are validated experimentally, while psychological characteristics in the process of software team formations are exemplified.

Formación de roles y buenas prácticas en el trabajo por la calidad de un ingeniero informático

The university is responsible for training software professionals entering industry. Therefore, it has the duty to impart knowledge and develop the necessary skills for students to be able to work individually and in teams, so that they are disciplined and produces quality work. In this sense, to meet the expectations of the software industry, we must continually improve the process of the formation of roles in computer engineering career. This paper refers specifically to the curriculum to train software engineers in Cuban universities. Although, it is the opinion to the authors that the problems identified and its possible solution is applicable to other contexts. The article sets out a strategy for the creation of roles and disciplined work habits, implemented for four academic years and proposes actions to improve the training process, based on analysis.
