How Does Romania Rank Judging by International Software Development Standards?

It’s no doubt that IT is the most dynamic sector with the greatest development potential for Romania and the software development sub-sector is incrementally growing, surpassing the most optimistic expectations in terms of quality and software development standards.
“It’s one of the areas we can boast of. Romania has become a true regional software hub, being outlined as Europe’s Silicon Valley” – this is how the research specialists from KeyFin began their study over the Romanian software industry.

But how do Romanian developers perform in terms of software development standards, quality and efficiency? It is a well known fact that IT outsourcing faced some difficulties in the past, in other words outsourcing can be a great idea but sometimes a terrible execution. From hidden costs to confidentiality issues and from poor code quality to messy project plans and delivery schedules, a wide array of problems plagued the software development standards in the past.

The question is: Do Romanian teams successfully avoid these problems?
The answer is complex but Romania is ranking high when it’s about software development. No doubt that outsourcing to Romania has its perks and it’s no wonder that many entrepreneurs chose the Eastern European country to deliver their projects.

Romania is closest to Europe
