Code Coverage and Postrelease Defects: A Large-Scale Study on Open Source Projects

Collaborative Maintenance in Large Open-Source Projects

The paper investigates collaborative work among maintainers of open source software by analyzing the logs of a set of 10 large projects. We inquire whether teamwork can be influenced by several characteristics of code. Preliminary results suggest that collaboration among maintainers in most large open-source projects seems to be positively influenced by file vintage and by Halstead volume of fi...

Reverse Peroneal Artery Flap for Large Heel and Sole Defects: A Reliable Coverage

BACKGROUND Large soft tissue defects of ankle and foot always have been challenging to reconstruct. Reverse sural flaps, free flaps have been used for this problem with variable success. Reverse peroneal artery flap is an option to use with reliability without microvascular repair. Connections of peroneal artery around talus and ankle joint are deep and reliable with anterior tibial and post...

Life cycle of Defects in Open Source Software Projects

We studied the maintenance process from the viewpoint of defect management and the defect life cycle. First, we outline a model for the defect life cycle based on ISO/IEC standards, the Framework for Open Source maintenance process, and the Bugzilla defect management system. Thereafter, we analyze defects from two Open Source software projects. The aim of the study was support the maintenance r...

Integrating Projects from Multiple Open Source Code Forges

Much of the data about free, libre, and open source (FLOSS) software development comes from studies of code forges or code repositories used for managing projects. This paper presents a method for integrating data about open source projects by way of matching projects (entities) across multiple code forges. After a review of the relevant literature, a few of the methods are chosen and applied t...
