Software has become the core of organizations in different domains because the capacity of their products, systems, and services have an increasing dependence on software. This fact highlights the research challenges to be covered by computer science, especially in the software engineering (SE) area. On the one way, SE is in charge of covering all the aspects related to the software development process from the early stages of software development until its maintenance and therefore is closely related to the software quality. On the other hand, SE is in charge of providing engineers able to provide technological-base solutions to solve industrial problems. This chapter provides a research work path focused on helping software development organizations to change to a continuous software improvement culture impacting both their software development process highlighting the human factor training needs. Results show that the implementation of best practices could be easily implemented if adequate support is provided.

Agile practices are activities or procedures that are applied during the software development process in order to improve its quality and productivity. The objective of this study is to determine the influence of agile practices on software quality. For this purpose, a model composed of 4 groups of agile practices and 8 quality characteristics according to the ISO/IEC 25010 standard has here been proposed. The results of 146 questionnaires addressed to people involved in the software development process show that the application of agile engineering and project management practices have a significant positive influence on the quality attribute functionality. On the other hand, project management practices have a low impact on the quality characteristics of compatibility, portability, security, and usability.

This chapter introduces the open source software development process from a software quality perspective. It uses the attributes of software quality in a formal model and attempts to map them onto the principles of the open source process. Many stages of the open source process appear to have an ad-hoc approach. Although open source is not considered to be a formal methodology for software development, it has resulted in the development of very high quality software, both in the consumer and in the enterprise space. In this chapter, we hope to understand the open source process itself, and apply it to other methodologies in order to achieve better software quality. Additionally, this chapter will help in understanding the “Wild West” nature of open source and what it may hold for us in the future.
