摘要
Offshore outsourcing of software development has become an increasingly popular trend in recent years. Sri Lanka has emerged as a favourable destination for outsourcing and it is currently catering to many offshore projects globally. However it is also observed that many other potential destinations are emerging globally. Due to this factor Sri Lankan software development firms would eventually face global competition in time to come. Therefore in this research paper, we would carry out an empirical study to assess & study the current quality measurements that software development companies in Sri Lanka have taken and further discuss on the importance and future benefits that companies would attain by performing these quality practices consistently. Our research adopts both quantitative and qualitative methods to solidify our results. The final outcome of this result would facilitate the software development industry to gain more understanding on the importance of adopting feasible quality measures into their software development life cycle.
