Proposal for a software development framework based on the ISO/IEC 29110 standard: Public organizations

Abstract

In Software Engineering there are several methods, methodologies, standards or frameworks, which allow the development of better quality software or with less expenditure of resources. However, the context of each organization must be taken into account in order to make the correct choice of any of them. In the case of very small entities (less than 25 people), they also face other problems, such as the limited amount of resources available. In public sector organizations that are in charge of software development or operation and services the same problems are identified. In addition, there are a number of laws or regulations that they must comply with, such as MAAGTICSI. Therefore, this article shows the proposal of a framework for software development based on the ISO/IEC 29110 standard for public sector organizations that aims to help improve their processes for software management and development. In order to establish this proposal, the main standards and methodologies that are applied in public organizations in Mexico were identified, as well as, some related works that show how some standards and methodologies are implemented in small organizations.
