Deliverables
Up one levelD 1.1. (March 2007)
This deliverables (Evaluation Report on Existing Tools and Existing F/OSS repositories) has the following objectives: Determine the type of data found in FlOSS repositories and other reliable sources of information related to FlOSS and determine the tools and techniques available to analyze FlOSS project data
D 1.2. (March 2007)
The key result of task 1.2 (Measurement requirement specification) is a definition of robustness and evolvability based on related work and stakeholders' views. These definitions will be represented in the form of quality characteristics relevant to evolvability and robustness. Definition of concrete metrics for these quality characteristics is part of task 1,3.
D 1.3. (October 2007)
This document describes the work done and results obtained in task 1.3 (“Definition of Metrics Systems and Prototype Quality Models”) and in task 1.2 (“Goal of measurements”) of the QualOSS project. We review relevant definitions of robustness and evolvability in F/OSS assessment approaches and in the state of the art and practice of quality models. Additionally, we take into account stakeholders' perceptions and requirements through a series of interviews. Goals and requirements for the QualOSS model are defined in terms of (a) business and measurement goals, and (b) a consolidated definition of quality characteristics for evolvability and robustness from related work and from stakehoders' views, and (c) an initial plan for validation of the QualOSS model.
D 6.5a (Jan 2007)
This report (Collaboration Plan and Report) explores the opportunities for collaboration and joint dissemination of the projects funded by the 6th Framework Programme of the European Commission in the area of libre (free, open source) software development and quality. Beside QUALOSS, other projects are FLOSSMETRICS, SQO-OSS, and QUALIPSO. Those projects, working in the same aridentifying synergies and avoiding duplication of efforts.
D 1.4. (October 2007)
This report explains the execution of task 1.4. It presents a set of criteria for selecting the FlOSS projects to measure during task 1.4. In the context of WP1, we find it important to test the limit of our prototype quality models and of the basic metrics, both described in D1.3. This desired is reflected in our selection criteria and in the FlOSS projects selected.
D 1.5 (Oct 07)
This document describes the work done and results obtained in task 1.5 (“Calibration of Metrics Systems and Prototype Quality Models”) of the QualOSS project. This deliverable has been first and mainly created as a wiki, and then extracted into this document. The wiki content will continue to be evolved; in this view, this deliverable represents a snapshop of the QualOSS work.
D 1.6 (March 2008)
This document describes the work done and the results obtained in task 1.6 (Validation of Calibration and User Manual). With the goal of evaluating the appropriateness of the definition of the QualOSS model from the F/OSS evaluators' viewpoint, we designed and conducted several interviews with partners of the QualOSS consortium and with practitioners who are not part of the QualOSS project. Based on the results, we identified quality characteristics to refine and a list of possible scenarios for planning and scoping the case studies of Workpackage 5. Additionally, a new project has been evaluated using the QualOSS model first released in deliverable D1.5 developed during the previous stages of the project. The purpose of this later subtask was to show that the QualOSS model can successfully be applied to different domains from those considered in Deliverable D1.5. Furthermore, based on the available projects and the extracted metrics obtained during task 1.5, recommendations are discussed and analysed in order to help structure and organize the received raw metrics data files into convenient databases being well suited to carry out later deeper analysis using statistical tools on the one hand, and more advanced data-mining methods on the other hand.
