Open Source Research
Abstract
Open source is not just a new breed of software, it is also a new method of software development. Our research focuses on combining traditional methods of software development, like plan-driven (Waterfall) and agile methods, with open source development practices. This talk presents current results on open source software development. It comprises insights gained from mining software repositories, envisioning and implementing new tools, and analyzing new and emerging development practices.
