The defect-fixing process is a key process in which an open source software (OSS) project team responds to customer needs in terms of detecting and resolving software defects, hence the dimension of defect-fixing effectiveness corresponds nicely to adopters' concerns regarding OSS products. Although researchers have been studying the defect fixing process in OSS projects for almost a decade, the literature...
Open source software (OSS) has been widely accepted as one of reuse methods to develop software applications in industry. OSS is well known for free software which can be used with freedoms on costs and copyrights. Nonetheless, when it comes to compliances of OSS licenses, different licenses have different duties to which users should conform. Furthermore, if the software using OSS is commercial,...
Studies have demonstrated the importance of good identifier names to program comprehension. It is unclear, however, whether poor naming has other effects that might impact maintenance effort, e.g. on code quality. We evaluated the quality of identifier names in 8 established open source Java applications libraries, using a set of 12 identifier naming guidelines. We found statistically significant...
In this paper, we study new organizational forms for production processes that emerge in large scale Free/Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) projects. We will focus on the textual artifacts known as "Programming Guidelines" and on the rules and practices they contain. Our reflection is grounded in the practical activities of the people involved in the innovation processes. In particular,...
