SWEBOK is a guideline that provides information about Software Engineering (SE) knowledge, including a list of Best Practices (BPs) for adopting. However, small companies have restrictions such as, limited budget, reduced schedule, and, small staff that can hinder the advantages of these BPs adoption. Thus, this paper investigated the last decade of BPs adoption reported by small companies' environment. A quasi-systematic mapping was conducted for assessing studies that addressed this issue, and it was possible to observe that the most prominent BPs adopted are "test application" and "software process model adoption". On the other hand, "limited budget" and "staff size" were found as causes for non-adoption of SWEBOK's BPs.

Public space is endowed with undeniable social relevance, thus becoming a defining element of integration and interaction among its users. Aware of this importance the Universidade Federal da Paraíba (UFPB), linked to the Ministério da Educação e Cultura (MEC), develops the project "UFPB para todos: eliminando barreiras'' (UFPB for all: removing barriers) that aims to conceive an architectural design of an accessible rout to UFPB's campus I, and execute a pilot stretch of this route. This article aims to subsidize the preprojectual phase by understanding the needs of this campus' users, through the concepts of ergonomics and universal design. Was performed out direct observation of the space, and the methods of interviews and observation of user behavior were applied to a group of students with disabilities, through the techniques of assisted walking, photographic and video recording. Based on those, projective guidelines have been defined, which will contribute to the final project's quality, so that this is not a simple application of the rule, but works free of segregating barriers.
