Abstract EN

This paper presents a survey and analysis of the software industry in Sudan.

The study aims to provide a realistic description of the industry in order to identify its strengths and weaknesses and the issues that need to be prioritized in order to further develop the Sudanese software industry.

We present the results of a survey of 16 software development companies in which we targeted the opinions of the CEOs and developers within these companies and the academic and industrial experts within the software engineering field.

Our results describe the demographics of these companies, their software development processes and the identified risks to the industry.

Furthermore, we provide an evaluation of the perceived and actual software development practices in the industry.

In view of the limited studies of the software industry in Sudan, this paper contributes necessary research and analysis as a step for future research into the local software development practices and processes.
