Abstract

Software globalization is becoming more important worldwide but little is known about how globalization technologies are actually carried out in the Korean software industry. In this paper, we have designed Globalization Quality Management (GQM) framework and applied the framework to the industry domestically for the first time. GQM provides a structured and effective way for software organizations to adopt globalization practices and evaluate the results. GQM consists of three main components: 1) software quality management process, 2) globalization support model and 3) globalization assessment model. This framework also supports both plan-driven and iterative/incremental development methods. On the basis of the GQM, a survey study was conducted among software engineering professionals, gathering the data from 31 IT companies across 7 large-scale projects in Korea. The result indicate that the evaluation score for globalization capability is 2.47 and global readiness is 2.55 out of 5 points. Also It said that internationalized product design (32.9%) and global/local product requirements analysis (28%) are needed to be taken care of first.

국내 최초로 소프트웨어 글로벌화 품질관리(Globalization Quality Management, GQM) 프레임워크를 설계하고 실제 산업 현장에 적용하였다. GQM은 글로벌화 경험이 미약한 국내 소프트웨어 업체를 대상으로 글로벌화 기술 적용 결과를 국제 표준에 적합한 수준으로 끌어올리기위한 지원 및 점검을 위한 도구이다. 소프트웨어 개발 주기에 따른 체크포인트 기반의 품질관리 프로세스, 글로벌화 기술지원 모델 및 품질점검 모델로 구성된 GQM은 폭포수를 비롯한 계획주도방법론과 애자일을 포함한 반복점증방법론을 모두 지원한다. GQM에 기반하여 31개 소프트웨어 업체를 대상으로 글로벌화 수준진단을 수행하고 5점 척도로 평가한 결과, 글로벌화 역량이 2.47, 글로벌화 준비도가 2.55로 나타났다. 또한, 글로벌화 기술 도입을 위한 선결요건은 국제화 기술을 반영한 제품 설계(32.9%)와 글로벌 요구사항 분석(28%)으로 조사되었다.
