Abstract

In order to improve software quality and reduce costs and deadlines, many companies are adopting Software Product Line approaches. As a consequence of globalization, another common practice is the adoption of Global Software Development approaches, which seek to find more qualified workforce and more attractive costs in companies distributed around the world. Taking into account the benefits of both approaches, the ramework proposed in this paper has the goal of aiding the management of global software teams involved in the implementation phase of an SPL project, providing recommendations on how to allocate the teams to the set of software components, which are initially specified in the SPL architecture and must be subsequently implemented.
