Aspects of Software Quality Assurance in Open Source Software Projects: Two Case Studies From Apache Project
Overview Open Source Software (OSS) solutions provide mission critical services to industry and government organizations. This paper provides a preliminary exploration to improve ones understanding of software quality practices in different types of OSS projects. The paper proposes a framework of QA in an OSS project, elicit OSS stakeholder value propositions for QA, and derive performance indicators. For an initial empirical evaluation they applied these indicators to 5 releases of 2 large Apache projects (Tomcat and MyFaces) to analyze the extent to which QA aspects are commonly performed during development process.
