Although the need for developing software using Open Source Software(OSS) has been increasing, there is no measurement to select a suitable and qualified OSS which is proper property to develop. In this study, it is suggested whom wants to develop software by using OSS that a quality model to choose the best quality which is suitable characteristics of development.To conduct the proposal quality model:1. Select 23 development companies which have experience in developing software with OSS. 2. Sample among the 23 companies which has ISO/IEC 9126 certification and additional characteristics by the order of priority 3. From top-15 sub-characteristics, group, combine and classify by characteristics. Finally, we arrive at the quality model abstracted from 4 main-characteristics and 10 sub-characteristics. The quality model provides the criteria for measuring quality to select OSS and fundamental researching metrics and indicates the applicable method for practical and basic information.
Open Source Software has over 60 percent of application software development but previous studies of objective quality model and characteristic to utilize Open Source Software appeared to be low and there are few studies regarding quantitative evaluation methods to evaluate Open Source Software.To solve these problems, in this paper, we propose a quality evaluation model, "Logical Open Source Software quality model", which is able to utilize for developing and maintaining application software and quantitative quality evaluation method that can utilize in the proposed model. The proposed Open Source Software quality model derives quality characteristics based on literature and it forms six main-features and twelve sub-characteristics by comparing with the quality characteristic of ISO/IEC 9126 and twelve evaluation metrics that can measure the metrics and the characteristics quantitatively. To verify efficiency of the proposed quality evaluation model, we apply the proposed quality evaluation to top 5 project management system (PMS) software in open source software community and prove its availability.
