RESUMO

This work presents a dynamic model of distributed development of software, whose objective is to represent the reality and the aspects of DDS environments, in order to turn them qualitatively and quantitatively observable. A preliminary model was elaborated from the bibliographical revision and an experimentation case developed by LErario et al (2004). The construction and validation of this model used the methodology multiple cases study in several organizations that develop software in a distributed way. After this, states and transitions were added in the dynamics model of the distributed development of software creating the M3DS. (Dynamics Model of Distributed Development of Software). Two versions of M3DS are presented. A version built on a state machine whose objective is demonstrating the transitions among the states. Another version equivalent, however more formal, it is presented in the format of Petri nets. The second version makes possible to visualize the dependence between transitions and state changes. With this model it is possible to understand the operation of a distributed project, aiding in the effectiveness of the manager of the network production and people can obtain a precise positioning in network. Besides, M3DS can also aid the proactive detection of problems originated from the development at the distance. The results presented in this work answer the question: how the development software organizations produce software in a distributed way. The originality of the research is the construction of a model of dynamics of the distributed development elaborated from data of six cases studies.
