Abstract
Dette arbejde introducerer et praktisk sæt metoder til kvalitetssikring (QA) — måder at kontrollere og forbedre softwarekvalitet — for forskellige typer open source-projekter (projekter hvor kildekoden er offentligt tilgængelig). Det giver også vejledning i, hvordan disse metoder bedst omsættes til praksis i en open source-kontekst. Metoderne samles i en model, som hjælper udviklere med at vælge det mest relevante for deres situation, baseret på projektets størrelse og graden af proceskontrol (hvor formelle og strukturerede arbejdsgange er). Samlet giver det en bedre forståelse af, at traditionelle QA-metoder også passer godt til open source-udvikling.
This paper introduces a practical set of quality assurance (QA) methods—ways to check and improve software quality—for different types of open-source projects (projects where the source code is publicly available). It also offers guidance on how to put these methods into practice in an open-source context. The methods are organized into a model that helps developers choose what is most relevant for their situation, based on the size of the project and the degree of process control (how formal and structured their workflows are). Overall, the paper shows that traditional QA methods are also well-suited to open-source development.
