This study examines the labor process of software development which is situated in a central position within the information and communication technologies industry. Based on the fact that production of software applications has not received much academic interest, software production in Turkey is tried to be illuminated in the light of interviews made with workers in software sector. In this respect, a general framework is tried to be presented about how and in which relations through software is developed; and how those relations are experienced and perceived by software workers in Turkey. Technical organization of software development, relations of control at workplace, role of skills in production process and job insecurity experienced by workers in the sense of uncertain future are discussed. In this regard, the field research of the study was conducted through semi-structured in-depth interviews with 21 software developers who are working in different private companies in Ankara and İstanbul.

This paper examines the global software development process by using content analysis techniques, as described in an earlier study (Serce et al., 2011), to determine time-variant patterns of communication behaviors among student teams engaged in a global software development project. Data gathered from two software development projects involving students in the US, Panama, and Turkey were used to determine how globally distributed team behavior is temporally patterned in complex ways. A formal, quantitative...
