An Assessment of Changeability of Open Source Software
Among the maintainability sub-characteristics, changeability plays a critical role in analyzing the maintainability of software. Changeability is highly influenced by the dependencies that exist between the components of a system. Therefore, we need to have measurement mechanisms that can take into account the dependencies between components so as to determine the ease which modifications can b...

متن کاملDMOSS: Open source software documentation assessment
Besides source code, the fundamental source of information about open source software lies in documentation, and other non source code files, like README, INSTALL, or How-To files, commonly available in the software ecosystem. These documents, written in natural language, provide valuable information during the software development stage, but also in future maintenance and evolution tasks. DMOS...
