Quality Assurance of Open Source Projects

چکیده
From the outset on, the development of Open Source Software (OSS) was characterized by the difficulty of evaluating the quality of the product. Due to the massive parallel development and the absence of the approved control structures of conventional software development, new strategies for ensuring quality had to be conceived. This paper gives a review of the established processes of the Open Source environment and outlines the remaining problems. Bartkowiak — Quality Assurance of Open Source Projects 1

A decentralized variant of continuous integration can be defined in terms of two fundamental rules: (1) Developers’ access to add contributions to the development version at any time, and (2) Developers’ obligation to properly integrate their own contributions. Decentralized, continuous integration may adapt well to organizations where developers work relatively independently, as in many open s...
متن کاملLeveraging Open-Source Communities To Improve the Quality & Performance of Open-Source Software
