Description
Summary:Agile methods are based on frequent delivery of software, improved customer satisfaction, closed interaction with the clients and accommodation of requirement change at any stage of development. However, several challenges exist such as scalability, transparency, face-to-face communication, smooth control of development, and ability to build applications from distributed locations. A framework proposed for Agile Development using Cloud Computing (ADCC) in the earlier study is evaluated in the current study. The Malaysia Research and Education Network cloud is utilized to implement the framework. An industrial survey is conducted to evaluate the framework. The results of the industrial survey show that the ADCC framework has a positive impact on the performance of agile methods and overcomes some challenges found in distributed agile development. Furthermore, the survey verifies the challenges in agile development and the solutions covers these challenges so far.
