Analysis of Risk Factors in Global Software Development: A Cross-Continental Study Using Modified Firefly Algorithm.

ABSTRACT: In today's competitive world, software organizations are moving towards global software development (GSD). This became even more significant in times such as COVID-19 pandemic, where team members residing in different geographical locations and from different cultures had to work from home to carry on their tasks and responsibilities as travelling was restricted. These teams are distributed in nature and work on the same set of goals and objectives.
