Software development in a context where development locations are separated across geographical regions, either nearby or internationally, is quickly becoming a popular practice. This software development agreement is often mentioned as Global Software. "Global Software Development (GSD) is also known as Distributed Software Development (DSD) or Global Software Engineering (GSE)". Plans carried out by a scattered squad have been identified by way of a more dangerous and hard enterprise than projects carried out by teams working below a similar roof. As a result, considering the possible obstacles and appropriate mitigation techniques for GSD is critical for operating a successful project. Software development is divided into stages of requirements, analysis, designs, coding, and testing. The creation of software in globalized settings is frequent and significant in today's world of software development. This paper emphasizes the condition of software product transmission, which deals with software testing in an overseas site, as part of numerous globalized scenarios.
