THE INVESTMENT FIELD OF COMPANIES WITHIN SOFTWARE PROJECTS

Software startups are new corporations with no operating history and are quick in producing newfangled technologies. Startup companies operate in extremely unsure conditions, facing aggressive markets with few resources at their disposal. These conditions in which most startups operate create many challenges for software development activities. This study aims to structure and analyze the literature on software development in startup corporations, deciding thereby the potential for technology transfer and distinguishing software development work practices reported by employees, managers, and recruiters. We analyzed the investment field of companies within software projects by obtaining their classification, ranking the principal activity fields, the main technologies in the most important projects, and the turnover and income summary. A complete study of how software development startups and companies work in a world dictated by investment is mapped and synthesized in the current article. From the reviewed primary studies, multiple engineering corporations were classified and analyzed for the present research paper. This study provides a clear vision of what it means to invest in a startup or company, during a global and epidemic crisis. The results indicate that startups choose and adapt their software engineering work practices with great regard to the constraints of the startup context.
