The Impact of Reusing Open-Source Software Model in Software Maintenance
Nedhal A. Al-Saiyd · International Journal of Computer Theory and Engineering · 2017
Open Source Software (OSS) is becoming very popular and using OSS in maintenance activities has become one of the OSS important issues.Researches in the area of reuse-based maintenance using OOS are rare.The attributes and metrics of OSS maintenance processes are identified depending on literature study.We have proposed a maintenance framework model for reusing of OSS applications in software maintenance, because there are no well-specified guidelines to follow for reuse-based maintenance using OOS.We have tried to shorten the gap between the change request and the reuse-based maintenance using OOS.The paper also shows how to analyze OOS modularity using functional points.
