| Spanish abstract | Actualmente la industria de software representa una actividad económica de importancia para muchos países como Colombia, actividad que puede ser considerada una gran oportunidad al ofrecer múltiples fuentes de negocio. Sin embargo, en los países latinoamericanos, la industria de software es incipiente e inmadura [1], lo cual conlleva a falta de competitividad que a su vez dificulta su crecimiento con calidad. Aún con la desventaja competitiva que tiene la industria de software en Colombia, ésta aumenta progresivamente. Lo anterior ha motivado al grupo del Laboratorio de Investigación para el Desarrollo de la Ingeniería del Software LIDIS, a enfocar su temática de investigación en “procesos de mejoramiento del software” basándose en los referentes internacionales CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration) e ISO (International Organization for Standardization) para construir modelos livianos de mejoramiento de procesos acordes a las características propias de la idiosincrasia y al contexto socio-económico de las empresas emergentes de desarrollo de software del país |
| English abstract | Currently, the software Industry represents a very important economic activity for many countries and Colombia is among those countries, since it offers a great opportunity with multiple business sources. On the other hand, the software industry is incipient and immature (1) in Latin America, resulting in the lack of competitiveness which makes quality growth so difficult. In spite of this competitive disadvantage, the Colombian software industry increases continuously. This situation has motivated LIDIS group (Investigation Laboratory for development in software engineering) to focus its investigation on “processes to improve software” taking into account international referents CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration) and ISO (International Organization for Standardization), and based on them, to build flexible models in agreement with the reality (the idiosyncratic characteristics of the country’s socio-economical context) of the newly emerging software enterprises. LIDIS made a characterization of the software enterprises in the technology parks network (specifically Parquesoft) in order to recognize the relevant aspects of this industry, to apply strategies from methods, methodologies, techniques, and tools that enhance the formulation and implementation of a model of improvement processes in the small businesses developing software |
