Measurement of Interpersonal Trust in Global Software Development: SLR Protocol
This work addresses the challenge of assessing trust in virtual teams for software development practitioners and researchers, but it is incremental as it focuses on reviewing existing literature rather than proposing new methods.
The authors tackled the problem of measuring interpersonal trust in global software development teams by conducting a systematic literature review to identify, evaluate, and synthesize existing knowledge on this topic.
The purpose of this protocol is to be useful to identify, evaluate and synthesize reported knowledge about the measurement of interpersonal trust (IpT) in virtual software teams. To achieve this goal we applied a research technique known as Systematic Literature Review (SLR). The aim of a SLR is to be as objective, analytical, and repeatable as possible.
