Abstract
Method: We performed a systematic mapping review through a search for studies that answered our research question, ‘‘Which software tools (commercial, free or research based) are available to support Global Software Engineering?’’ Applying a range of related search terms to key electronic databases, selected journals, and conferences and workshops enabled us to extract relevant papers. We then used a data extraction template to classify, extract and record important information about the GSD tools from each paper. This information was synthesized and presented as a general map of types of GSD tools, the tool’s main features and how each tool was validated in practice. Results: The main result is a list of 132 tools, which, according to the literature, have been, or are intended to be, used in global software projects. The classification of these tools includes lists of features for com- munication, coordination and control as well as how the tool has been validated in practice. We found that out the total of 132, the majority of tools were developed at research centers, and only a small per- centage of tools (18.9%) are reported as having been tested outside the initial context in which they were developed.
