Mapping Global Software Development Practices for Follow-the-Sun Process

Several organizations are developing software processes twenty-four hours, seven days per week, with geographically distributed teams. This environment of software development enables to implement the Follow-the-Sun (FTS) strategy. In this study, we perform a mapping of the literature based upon electronic searching in digital libraries to identify applied practices in development environments twenty-four hours in which can be apply FTS strategy. Ours results present practices and many key aspects to FTS implementation.
