A Research Perspective on Integrating Knowledge Management for Software Engineering

The software development organizations strive to develop quality software to survive and gain competitive edge in the unpredictable competitive environment. However, common view regarding software development is that the projects are not accomplished in the due constraints of budget and time. In addition, the software delivered is low in quality. Software developers may carry out development of similar softwares from scratch without realizing that the fast and better quality softwares are developed by storing and reprocessing the knowledge of previously developed softwares. Hence, software engineering organizations must certainly adapt knowledge management practices for enhancing performance. This study explores the different perspectives of knowledge management in software engineering in the current literature and presents the future research prospects.
