Evaluating Open Source Software: SQO-OSS Project -
London 13/02/08

The British Computer Society (BCS) Open Source
Specialist Group (OSSG) will be holding an event on
Wednesday 13th February 2008 from 1800 hours on the
SQO-OSS project about open source software quality at
the BCS Central London Offices, First Floor, The
Davidson Building, 5 Southampton Street, London WC2E
7HA. This open source event is of course open and free
to all to attend.

Abstract
What do you know about the quality of the software you
are using? A well-known conjecture in software
engineering is that external quality characteristics
are correlated to internal quality characteristics and
thus the measurement of source code provides useful
data for the assessment of its quality. Uniquely, open
source software allows us to examine the actual code
and perform white box testing and analysis of it. In
most open source projects we can also access their
version control system, mailing lists and issue
databases. The SQO-OSS project is building a
BSD-lisenced tool that exploits the availability of
publicly accessible software data to evaluate the
quality of various OSS projects.
