BACKGROUND:
Data has become in one of the most important assets for organizations.
Indeed, organizations have realized about this situation and nowadays,
more and more companies which work intensively with data, have
demonstrated a growing interest in assessing and improving the levels
of data quality of their data resources. They know that they can get
some valuable profits in order to achieve a better organizational
performance. Among these organizations are those whose main aim is to
develop software products. As known, in a software development project
a lot of data is generated and used through the different phase of the
development. To have the sound data at the right time can be of vital
importance to make decisions about the development in order to avoid
errors and mistakes. These ones can cause the breaking up of the
budget or of the agenda. In addition, with the introduction of the new
business models, like Global Software Development into the current
panorama, the necessary efforts have become harder since data coming
from different sources must be coordinated, integrated and
communicated. By getting data with adequate levels of quality, a
development team can assure better software products.
With the first edition of this workshop we want to promote all the
areas related to the application of data and information quality
foundations to Software Development Process, by providing to the
developers and researchers of Data Quality and Software Engineering
areas with a forum where they can share their experiences on dealing
with problems due to inadequate levels of quality of the software
development data, and discuss about how to identify and improve the
critical data. Moreover, we hope to identify during the workshop
possible future lines related to the topic of the workshop.
