Abstract

The quality factor is an essential aspect and an indicator for the success of agile software development. On the other hand quality mismanagement increases the risk of software project failure. Therefore, it is essential to look at the success factor that supports the software development community to have better quality management of the project. The aim of this study is to classify the success factor of agile software development along with the most widely used agile methodology in the Pakistani software companies.For this purpose, an online survey was conducted to get insights from the practitioners of the leading software companies in Pakistan. Our survey reveals that there is a lack of empirical evidence to determine the most widely used agile methodology and to relate a particular set of agile methodologies to effective and progressive management of quality factor with the other five project management factors, which are schedule, scope, risk, budget and resources in Pakistani software companies.Correlation technique was used to analyze the research results. The correlation results suggest that the quality factor is positively correlated to the five project management factors. The budget factor has statistically significant correlation with quality factor. While all other factors found statistically insignificant. The results further suggest the most widely used agile methodologies are Extreme Programming followed by Scrum, Agile modeling and Kanban in Pakistani software companies.
