论文摘要
鉴于商业产品开发中OSS的采用增加了,开源软件(OSS)评估已经变得很重要。研究人员提出了许多OSS评估模型。但是,对于模型的工业相关性知之甚少。在这项研究中,我们根据与欧洲云提供商公司一起确定的OSS评估属性提出了一种自动化工具。我们分析了51个存储库,以观察其一生中维护活动中的模式(从成立到最新版本)。基于分析,我们提出了一种评估OSS项目成熟度的新方法。最后,我们在试点研究中评估了自动解决方案的有用性。
The open source software (OSS) assessment has become important given the increased adoption of OSS in commercial product development. Researchers proposed many OSS assessment models. However, little is known about the industrial relevance of the models. In this study, we proposed an automated tool based on the OSS assessment attributes identified together with a European cloud provider company. We analyzed 51 repositories to observe patterns in maintenance activities over their lifetime (from inception to the latest release). Based on the analysis, we propose a novel approach for evaluating the maturity of the OSS project. Finally, we assessed the usefulness of our automated solution in a pilot study.
