Increasing number of companies conduct their business employing various Open source software (OSS) licenses. The choice of correct license determines the business potential of a given software. When the available OSS stack and licensing options grow, so does the need for research concerning the interplay between OSS licensing, sourcing decisions and business goals. We aim to fill this research gap...
In this paper, we investigate the Barcode open-source system (OSS) using one of Weiser's original slice-based metrics (Tightness) as a basis. In previous work, low numerical values of this slice-based metric were found to indicate fault-free (as opposed to fault-prone) functions. In the same work, we deliberately excluded from our analysis a category comprising 221 of the 775 observations representing...
Software cockpits (software project control centers) provide systematic support for monitoring and controlling the activities in a software development project. Important aspects are to track progress, to visualize team performance, and to provide feedback about the quality of delivered results. Therefore, software cockpits integrate and visualize data from various data sources such as project plans,...
Selecting the right software is of crucial importance for businesses. Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) quality models can ease this decision-making. This paper introduces a distinction between first and second generation quality models. The former are based on relatively few metrics, require deep insights into the assessed software, relying strongly on subjective human perception and manual...
It has been suggested that 20% of the participants in a free/libre/open source software (FLOSS) project contribute 80% of the work. This paper attempts to verify this claim for nine projects and for various metrics of user activity such as the number of contributions, duration of involvement with the project, and the number of modifications to source code files.
This paper investigates to what extent Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS) is present in the Tunisian software business sector. We derive an empirical adoption model highlighting the main facilitators and inhibitors. Our key findings suggest that the level of FLOSS adoption in Tunisia is significant. However, the situation could be improved once the identified problems are addressed.
