Resumo
The Information Technology (IT) market has a high demand for skilled professionals. On the other hand, the computing courses at the Federal University of Espírito Santo (Ufes) have a high dropout rate and a predominantly academic teaching profile. In this context, Software Factories (SFs) are agile software production companies that have been implemented in higher education institutions due to the benefits they bring to students and the institution itself. They enhance the quality of education, improve student retention, and reduce the gap between academic knowledge and the job market. Additionally, they can develop solutions to streamline institutional processes. However, although Ufes utilizes laboratories that contribute to the professional training of students, it is believed that an Academic Software Factory can further enhance education, promoting a greater positive impact on regional technological development. Based on this premise and aiming to support the potential implementation of an Academic Software Factory at Ufes, this research seeks to answer the following question: What characteristics should an Academic Software Factory have in a federal education institution? Thus, this work aims to contribute to the implementation of a Software Factory at the Goiabeiras campus of Ufes, using academic references on the functioning of Academic Software Factories (ASFs) and interviews with professionals from higher education institutions who work or have worked in such programs and projects. The goal is to compare solutions and profiles and propose a model for an Academic Software Factory that best suits Ufes’s structure and objectives. The results allowed for the production of a technical report presenting the characteristics of an ASF designed based on solutions to various challenges faced by other institutions. This robust model, typically developed over years of operation, can be adopted by other universities with necessary adjustments.
