“…Sen (2006) also proposed that project system compatibility is an important factor. Capiluppi and Boldyreff (2007) emphasized the stability of folders is the key to reusability, so it is necessary to examine the frequency of updates. Update too frequently or only occasionally does not meet requirements.…”

In recent years, the widespread applications of open-source software (OSS) have brought great convenience for software developers. However, it is always facing unavoidable security risks, such as open-source code defects and security vulnerabilities. To find out the OSS risks in time, we carry out an empirical study to identify the indicators for evaluating the OSS. To achieve a comprehensive understanding of the OSS assessment, we collect 56 papers from prestigious academic venues (such as IEEE Xplore, ACM Digital Library, DBLP, and Google Scholar) in the past 21 years. During the process of the investigation, we first identify the main concerns for selecting OSS and distill five types of commonly used indicators to assess OSS. We then conduct a comparative analysis to discuss how these indicators are used in each surveyed study and their differences. Moreover, we further undertake a correlation analysis between these indicators and uncover 13 confirmed conclusions and four cases with controversy occurring in these studies. Finally, we discuss several possible applications of these conclusions, which are insightful for the research on OSS and software supply chain.

“…Capiluppi and Boldyreff (Capiluppi & Boldyreff, 2007) proposed a coupling-based ap-proach to to indicate potentially reusable parts of projects, which could be reused as in-dependent projects. Their approach was based on the instability metric (Martin, 2003).…”

Software systems usually evolve constantly, which requires constant development and maintenance. Subsequently, the architecture of these systems tends to degrade with time. Therefore, stability is a key measure for evaluating an architecture. Open-source software systems are becoming progressively vital these days. Since open-source software systems are usually developed in a different management style, the quality of their architectures needs to be studied. ISO/IEC SQuaRe quality standard characterized stability as one of the sub-characteristics of maintainability. Unstable software architecture could cause the software to require high maintenance cost and effort. In this work, the authors propose a simple, yet efficient, technique that is based on carefully aggregating the package level stability in order to measure the change in the architecture level stability as the architecture evolution happens. The proposed method can be used to further study the cause behind the positive or negative architecture stability changes.

Software Engineering needs tools and concepts support to produce the systems as much as possible with good quality. To improve the tasks and make confidence in system development the 'Reuse' concept will be applied. To reuse the existing patterns or program elements such as components those should be organized in a well designed manner to reduce the time and stress for finding suitable 'Reusable Element' to integrate in the new system development. Here the proposed concept 'Stability Based Clustering' method is focusing on 'Stability' metric of component(s) and 'Clustering Analysis' of Data Mining. Using this, only stable component(s) are organized as 'Reusable Component' and with exterior details in 'Reuse Repository'. Searching time of finding a Reusable Component may be reduced to some extent and reduce stress on People side.
