Eduardo Nicolás Pérez Paredes from the Systems Engineering program will present the results of this research during the International Conference on Information Technology & Systems - ICITS 2023.

The article describes the preliminary results obtained as part of the research project carried out by the student of the Systems Engineering program Eduardo Nicolás Pérez Paredes, who is under the direction of Professor PhD. MSc. César Jesús Pardo Calvache and the MSc. Carlos Eduardo Orozco Garcés, members of the Information Technology R&D Group (GTI) and professors from the Systems Department of the Universidad del Cauca.

 Systems Eduardo Nicolás Pérez Paredes will participate as a speaker on the article entitled "Analysis of the state of the art about (un)happiness in agile software development communities" at the event called International Conference on Information Technology & Systems - ICITS 2023, which will be will take place at the National University of San Antonio Abad del Cusco, in Cusco, Peru.

The paper presents a systematic mapping of the literature, where the works, advances and advances of the topic related to the study of social debt in software communities in agile contexts are analyzed, in particular it focuses on the identification of causes and consequences. of happiness and unhappiness in these contexts. The study analyzes the different existing proposals in order to know the methodologies and results obtained by other authors.

 

Thanks to this analysis, various conclusions are obtained, among them, it has been possible to observe that happiness and unhappiness directly influence the success or failure of the projects carried out in the context of Software Engineering; Likewise, that previous studies have been carried out that seek to know the importance of soft skills in the members that participate during the software development process and their influence on the emotional health of software communities. In addition, the study also made it possible to observe that, although there is growing interest, the reported works are few, which brings great opportunities to contribute by defining solutions that allow measuring, managing and controlling these events.

 

It is pertinent to highlight that the research topic covered is new and can be correlated with other aspects, for example: with the success of software development projects and the convergence that this may have with the technical errors that occur in IT projects. . Finally, the importance of working on these types of issues is highlighted, given that; The percentage of remote jobs (jobs with virtual presence) has increased by 159% since 2009 and this scenario presents a demanding scenario with great challenges, not only technical for professionals, but also emotional.
