Abstract
Reviews the problems, solutions and open issues in global software development (GSD), in which the software development activities are distributed across multiple sites. First, we introduce the reasons why GSD is becoming more and more prevalent. Then we outline the issues created or amplified by GSD and illustrate various effects it has on a software project. Finally, we summarize the literature on existing approaches to reduce the negative effects of GSD and list key open research questions
