Please select the level of importance for the key factors that you consider contain practices that facilitate the improvement of a software ecosystem. The Questionnaire can be completed in less than 15 minutes. The results of the survey will be used in an evaluation study of Software Ecosystems Practice Improvements. Your opinion is very important to the success of our research.

NOTE: Software Ecosystem Definition: Software ecosystems are composed of one or more platforms and a set of applications built on top of these platforms, developed and used by a community. The community encompasses users, domain experts, sponsors and a set of internal and external developers all of whom interact in a shared market for software and services. (Jansen, 2009)
