THE AUDIT PROCESS IN COMPANIES THAT IMPLEMENT SOFTWARE ENGINEERING PROJECTS

The use of technological resources and software has become standardized in today's society, which is why there is a need to be able to update according to the requirements that the market and industry demand from companies that develop products through a software engineering process. The role of the auditor is extremely important since he is the one who must make sure that everything is controlled and that the required needs are being fulfilled, as well as he is concerned about the security of the entities and their internal background. In this context, it is necessary to constantly improve the auditor's procedures and the legislation that regulates them, since the multiple frauds that companies suffer in terms of information obtained easily and quickly, without any major control, are well known, and it is here where care must be taken in order to reduce the levels of violations of access to unauthorized information assets. The objective of this paper is to present everything that surrounds the process of auditing requirements of software engineering projects, both generically and specifically in projects in particular the financial area, generally covering everything that is present in a software engineering project considering the need, what is obtained from them and why they arise in organizations

El mejoramiento del proceso de software como un habilitador de la de auto-producción organizacional

Las compañías de software son un tema actual en la economía mundial. Dichas compañías están encargadas de la mayoría de los desarrollos en tecnologías de la información y para tener un desempeño adecuado deben mejorar su propia organización. El mejoramiento del proceso de software (SPI por sus siglas en inglés) es un factor clave que permite a las compañías de software crecer y mejorar. Este proceso ha sido analizado principalmente como un proceso técnico, dejando de lado el factor humano y organizacional. Además en la literatura se ha encontrado una carencia en la reflexión teórica sobre cómo puede ser analizado este proceso. Trabajos recientes indican que el SPI puede ser analizado como un cambio organizacional. Las organizaciones pueden ser vistas como organismos vivos que crecen y evolucionan basados en la teoría de la autopoiesis o los sistemas auto-productivos. Si una compañía de software es entendida como un sistema autopoiético, el SPI puede ser visto como un proceso que habilita la auto-producción organizacional. El objetivo de este trabajo es proveer una primera aproximación al entendimiento del SPI como un habilitador del proceso auto-productivo organizacional, es decir, describir este proceso a la luz de una nueva teoría con el fin de crear una base para entender el desarrollo de este y proveer de nuevas perspectivas a futuros trabajos en el área.Abstract. Software companies are a growing trend in world economy. They are in charge of most IT related developments and in order to deliver a proper product to their costumers they have to improve their own organization. Software Process Improvement (SPI) is a key factor that allows software companies to grow and improve their organization. This process has been mainly treated as a technical process, leaving aside the human factor. Although, in the literature it has been found a lack of a theoretical reflection about how could be analyzed this process. Recent works indicate that SPI could be analyzed as an organizational change. Also organizations can be seen as living organisms that grow and evolve based on the idea of autopoiesis or self-producing systems. If a software company is understood as a self-producing system, the SPI can be seen as a self-producing process. The goal of this work is to provide a first approach in the understanding of SPI as enabler of the organization self-production process, that is to say, describe this process in the light of a new theory in order to create a basis for understanding its development and provide new perspectives for future research in this area.Maestrí
