O organizar de práticas cooperativas no contexto de um ambiente de estágio em desevolvimento de software

Abstract

The process of developing software involves both resolutions of technical problems and social interactions. It is therefore identified that social issues are as important as the technical issues involved in this process. In this sense, for teamwork to occur in the best possible way, it is important to understand the cooperative aspects that involve the development of a system. Thus, it is necessary to investigate what actually happens in the day-to-day of a development team, in relation to the practices of cooperation in Software Engineering. Developers should coordinate their individual activities with the activities that members of their team perform, so when all members agree to the rules and conventions established the cooperative activities occur without major problems. In view of such motivations the present work aims to use the exploratorydescriptive method to understand, through a case study, the cooperative practices practiced by trainee students in the software development context of the Federal University of Ceará (Campus de Crateús).
