Abstract

The software development process meets new challenges created by globalization. Distributed and global software development has made the software process more complex and dependent of technologies used to support the communication and management of the distributed development team. In this context, the distributed software development needs new solutions to old and new Software Engineering problems. This project aims to develop a tool to support a specific activity of development process - formal technical review -, focusing not only on technical issues, but also on related management tasks. For that, it is needed the use of actual technologies enabling the world wide communication, which will be supported by developed tool.
