Corporate-, Agile- and Open Source Software Development: A Witch’s Brew or An Elixir of Life?

Abstract

Abstract. The observation that the Open Source Software development style is becoming part of corporate software development, raises questions about its compatibility with traditional development processes. Particular compatibility questions arise where the existing corporate development style is in the agile tradition. These questions are identified and discussed. Measures that can be taken to avoid clashes are suggested. An example illustrates how Corporate-, Agile-and Open Source Software could intersect, and SPEM modelling is employed to show how corporate processes would need to adapt to accommodate the new scenario.

A comparative study of challenges in integrating Open Source Software and Inner Source Software

“…Similar results were reported in [22]. Each OSS project may follow different practices, but all OSS projects share a common philosophy 2 [23]. A number of common practices that can be found in many projects are listed in [2].…”

Analytical Evaluation of SOA and SCRUM Business Process Management Approaches for IoT-Based Services Development

“…As a result, agile building approaches are focused on agility, speed, and willingness to develop [22]. Agile processes, according to the Oxford dictionary, emphasize the importance of being agile, as well as willingness to move, nimbleness, activity, and dexterity in motion [12]. Client satisfaction can be obtained as a result of the lightness of concern procedures, according to several agile approaches such as extreme programming and SCRUM [12].…”

“…By promoting both people and groups, the SCRUM process assists in the discovery of better ways to develop software [11]. With SCRUM, the development process is broken down into sprints in order to focus on delivering a useful product and a project that benefits everyone [12].…”
