Needs Analysis for Developing a Competency-Based Programming Skill Development System Aligned with International Standards
Keywords:
Programming Skill Competency Development System, International StandardsAbstract
This research aims to analyze the needs and expectations for developing a programming skill competency development system aligned with international standards for software developers. The study gathers data through questionnaires from 45 developers, including Junior Developers, Senior Developers, and Supervisors, as well as from 11 executives in the software development field. The objective is to collect opinions regarding desired features in the skill development system and the adoption of international standards such as ISO, SEI-CMMI, and OWASP for development and evaluation. The analysis of the questionnaire responses highlights the respondents' emphasis on features such as access to learning materials anytime and anywhere, the ability to create personal projects for hands-on practice, and the use of AI technology for analyzing and recommending skill development. The findings also reveal that executives perceive the adoption of international standards as enhancing efficiency, security, and reducing errors in the development process. These findings underline the opportunity to develop a system that meets the developers' needs and remains competitive in the job market.
