Open Source Software Development Projects: Review on Effort and Efficiency

In this section we will review literature on open source software development projects, focusing on their expended effort as well as achieved efficiency. The paper is based mostly on empirical analyses of open source communities. The main method employed is mining the associated software repositories which are publicly available and contain records of past interactions between participants, or ...

The Impact of Social Netowrking on Software Design Quality and Development Effort in Open Source Projects

This paper focuses on Open Source (OS) social networks. The literature indicates that OS networks have a few nodes with a number of relationships significantly higher than the network’s average, called hubs. It also provides numerous metrics that help verify whether a node is a hub, called centrality metrics. This paper posits that higher values of centrality metrics are positively correlated w...

Performance of Open Source Projects

The patterns in this paper describe open source development practices from a performance perspective. In product development, performance is measured in terms of the time it takes to develop a software product, the resulting quality of the software, and the cost of development. These dimensions are in tension with one another. Since improving performance has side effects, we also need to includ...
