Abstract

In order to find out the main features and the existent problems in the Japan-oriented offshore software development in China, a survey was conducted in 24 Japan-oriented offshore companies. The questionnaire included the company information, the project information, the software development process, and the existent problems and expectations. The survey results were classified and analyzed according to the company scale and the project style. The analysis results showed that almost all of the basic features of the projects, the software development process and the existent problems had close relations with the company scale and the project type. Finally, based on the survey results some solution suggestions were proposed for the Japan-oriented offshore software development.
