Open Incremental Model A Open Source Software Development Life Cycle Model 'OSDLC'

Abstract

Open-source software abbreviated as OSS is computer software that is available with source code and is provided under a software license that permits users to study, change, and improve the software. For the commercial software the source code and certain other rights are normally reserved for copyright holders,i.e. the company who developes the software. A group of people in a collaborative manner often developes the Open source software, not under the roof of a large organization. This strategy makes open source software cheap, reliable and modifiable if needed.In this context we shall discuss mainly the features of Open Source Software, Existing Open Source Software development models and our proposed model named open incremental model.

A mechanism to assess the relationship between socio-technical congruence and project performance in incremental model

“…As it occur, open source software often involve large-scale projects which are broken down by parts to the members in different organization [44]. This is in line with this study which examine open source project for analysis data.…”

A Survey of Open Source Statistical Software (OSSS) and Their Data Processing Functionalities

“…Saini & Kaur (2014) performed an extensive review of open source software development life cycle models, and Mandal et al (2011) preformed open incremental model for an Open Source Software Development Life Cycle Model 'OSDLC'.…”

The Impact of Reusing Open-Source Software Model in Software Maintenance

“…Open Source Software (OSS) is becoming very popular since it was introduced in 1998 and used widely in companies, communities, homes and governments. OSS is software source code produced by a collaborative process, where many developers and users can participate in developing and posting it to trusted repositories on the internet, and the users have the right to run, copy, distribute, change local copies and improve the software under the OSS license policies [1]. OSS is adopted in most aspects of world's computing technologies.…”

“…It is done in collaborative manner [7]. OSS development life cycle model consists of the following main phases [1], [8], [9]: 1) Cathedral Phase, the project initiation is done by core developer, and project manager in the closed environment without outside participants. 2) Transition Phase, it is considered as a link between cathedral phase and bazaar phase.…”
