Abstract

Context:Collaborative tools contribute to the approximation ofteamsthat are geographically distant.Theyenablestakeholderstodeveloptheiractivitiesmoreeffectivelyandinteractively. Several collaborative tools existforthedevelopment ofsoftwarewithdifferent characteristics and prices, applicable in different contexts and at differentstages of development. Therefore, it is a challenging task for stakeholders to decide which ones are appropriate to their project and meet their needs. Objective: this work aims to identify the collaborative tools used in all stages of software development. Method: to achieve this goal, a systematic review of the literature was conducted which returned 648 works from four databases being 165 accepted for data extraction. Results: from the data extracted in the review, a catalog of collaborative tools was elaborated. Conclusion: it is expected to contribute to software engineers and other stakeholders involved in software development choosing which collaborative tools can be used in their projects. Thus, through the use of appropriate tools, it is hoped that cooperation, collaboration and communication among team members will be facilitated.
