However, the assumption is misleading, that the proper implementation of the processes, which produced in the past high quality, will lead to successful high quality products. text/html 2008-11-09T15:14:20+01:00 otte http://www.qafoss.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=start&rev=1226240060&do=diff Quality Assurance for Open Source Software (QAfOSS) Introduction The Open Source Software Development (OSSD) model has launched products in rapid succession and with high quality, without following traditional quality practises of accepted software development models (Raymond 1999). Some OSSD projects challenge established quality assurance approaches, claiming to be successful through partially contrary techniques of standard software development. text/html 2008-11-09T15:09:54+01:00 otte http://www.qafoss.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=the_qafoss_model&rev=1226239794&do=diff The process model reflects the dimensions “development lifecycle” and “process domain”. The first dimension indicates the initial introduction of each process group in the “development lifecycle”. Initialised processes may be continued in later stages of the lifecycle, especially due to the iterative character of the OSSD approach. The dimension “objectives” reflect the process domain accordingly. All processes are clustered the process groups and arranged according to the matrix structure as fo… text/html 2008-11-09T15:07:37+01:00 otte http://www.qafoss.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=generic_process_model&rev=1226239657&do=diff The generic process framework defines the taxonomy of the process model and considers process objectives, characteristics and evaluation criteria. Following Wang and King, we define the process domain as a set of ranges of functional coverage and suggest the following process objectives:
