Survey of Human Factors in Crisis Responsive Software Development
Software development, despite all the significant improvements it contributes
to society, is a very expensive high-risk venture. Every software project
commences with the intention to deliver a software product on time and within
budget, but a great percentage of these software projects either fail to
achieve their full potential or fail entirely. A lot of factors come to play in
this regard and the dominant amongst them, which is often overlooked and
oftentimes the biggest or strongest factor, is the human factor, as software
development is a basic human endeavor. Knowledge and understanding of human
factors can greatly influence the success of software development. The purpose
of this survey is to find out and throw more light on the human factors that
have influences in crisis responsive software development, spell out some
recommendations, and suggest future research directions. In this paper, we use
a case study to investigate the human factors.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures and 15 reference
