Abstract
The quality of Open Source Software (OSS) is generally much debated. Some state that it is generally higher than closed-source counterparts, while others are more skeptical. In the QualiSPo project the authors addressed the problem of evaluating OSS products in a manner that is both as complete as possible and objective. To this end, a toolset and an evaluation framework are needed. The paper describes such toolset and framework, and accounts for the first evaluations that are being obtained.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
