Technologies and approaches to software development (SD) are changing rapidly, and in a highly competitive environment the maturity of production processes is an essential factor of commercial success. Russia is part of the global software development market, and Russian teams are involved in a large number of international projects. This article contains some of the results of the authors research finished in the spring of 2017 and covered 79 experienced engineers from all Federal Districts of Russia. The study demonstrated the relevance of the latest and significant global trends in technologies and approaches to software development in Russian regions. There is а strong demand for popular software development tools in Russian practice: from Git (version storage system) to JavaScript as a language for full-stack development. The panel of experts also noted the relative and lagging correspondence of Russian experience in software development approaches to current global trends and quite optimistic estimation of the demand for new trends.
