Following Wang and King, we define the process domain as a set of ranges of functional coverage and suggest the following process objectives: text/html 2008-11-09T14:06:32+01:00 http://www.qafoss.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=qa_elements_under_the_ossd&rev=1226235992&do=diff The research explores the development practices of various OSS projects in order to identify the key elements contributing to SQA. * Project requirements often derive from different channels, such as direct feature requests by developers, user suggestions in mailings lists or from commercial partners. New feature requests are stored in public accessible lists or issue trackers to enable prioritization and status follow-up. The review process gains an enormous importance in a distributed user… text/html 2008-11-09T16:06:31+01:00 http://www.qafoss.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=research_findings&rev=1226243191&do=diff Conclusion We assume that the quality of the product depends on the key processes used to develop it. 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 2008-11-09T14:35:26+01:00 http://www.qafoss.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=sidebar&rev=1226237726&do=diff * Start * QA Elements under the OSSD * Generic Process Model * The QAfOSS Model * The Assessment Approach * Research Findings ---------- text/html 2008-11-09T15:14:20+01:00 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 2008-11-09T14:29:33+01:00 http://www.qafoss.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=the_assessment_approach&rev=1226237373&do=diff A process capability measurement method is introduced to assess the level of process implementation within an organization. The method determines a capability rating for an organization and assesses each process against product quality characteristics such as functionality, usability, reliability and efficiency. text/html 2008-11-09T15:09:54+01:00 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…
