Abstract [en]
The open source software (OSS) assessment has become important given the increased adoption of OSS in commercial product development. Researchers proposed many OSS assessment models. However, little is known about the industrial relevance of the models. In this study, we proposed an automated tool based on the OSS assessment attributes identified together with a European cloud provider company. We analyzed 51 repositories to observe patterns in maintenance activities over their lifetime (from inception to the latest release). Based on the analysis, we propose a novel approach for evaluating the maturity of the OSS project. Finally, we assessed the usefulness of our automated solution in a pilot study. © 2022 Copyright for this paper by its authors.
