Trends and Challenges in Software Engineering in Uzbekistan

Software engineering includes various secondary research methods, such as systematic literature reviews and systematic mapping. In Uzbekistan, the sector faces significant challenges, including a limited number of local manufacturers in the global software market, rapid product life cycles, complex integration processes, and a notable lack of scientific approaches to software development. Moreover, the shortage of experienced specialists and the insufficient adoption of international standards further complicate the situation. This article aims to analyze the current landscape of scientific research in Uzbekistan, highlighting the urgent need to improve software engineering practices. By examining global research trends and development processes through systematic literature review methods, the article seeks to provide valuable insights into effective strategies for enhancing the software engineering field in Uzbekistan. It will explore how local researchers can draw from international advancements and adapt them to the unique context of Uzbekistan, ultimately fostering a more robust and scientifically grounded software engineering environment in the country. Strengthening academic-industry collaboration and investing in modern infrastructure are also critical for achieving sustainable progress.
