Abstract
Socio-Technical Congruence (STC) is one of the most significant current discussions in software engineering community and have been used for measuring developer’s coordination. Over the past few years, increasing interest been observed in improvement of measure for STC, and its relationship with task performance, software quality and software productivity. However, a major limitation with this kind of measure is the inability to represent lower level of technical dependencies and only conceptualize a limited range of actual coordination. This study therefore provides a conceptualization to integrate lower-level technical dependencies and actual coordination, and examine the connection of STC on task complexity in distributed software development. Thus, we outline the literature review, research methodology, potential contributions and the expected findings of the study. © 2020, World Academy of Research in Science and Engineering.
