Abstract:
We analyze the Software Engineering practices in Lebanon and provide suggestions
for local requirements analysis and software testing standards. The analysis is based
on a questionnaire answered by local Software Engineering companies. The analysis
results show great lack in documentation and standardization. Our suggested local
standards are based on a selection of international standards namely the ISO, British
and IEEE Software Engineering Standards. These standards would improve the local
software quality and guide the local software engineers in producing internationally
marketable software products.
