Date: Tue, Apr 14 @ 10:11 PM
SQO-OSS is a consortium of (European) open source projects, consultants and research institutions developing a suite of software quality assessment tools, enabling objective analysis and benchmarking of open source software.
SQO-OSS aims to assist European software developers in improving the quality of their code, and to remove one of the key barriers to entry for Open Source software: Providing scientific proof of its software quality. Advanced tools for quality assessment will underpin further enterprise adoption and assist European SMEs and projects in competing with large global corporations.
The SQO-OSS project will introduce a range of innovative software quality metrics and combine these metrics through the use of data mining and artificial intelligence to provide clear quality evaluations for both software users and developers.
The SQO-OSS project will:
- Deliver a plug-in based quality assessment platform, featuring a web and IDE frontend
- Develop a set of software metrics that will take into account quality indicators present in open source project repositories
- Publish a league table of open source software applications, categorised by their quality
- Release software under a BSD licence to allow for further development by the open source community and industry
SQO-OSS received a 2.5M euro funding from the European Commission and is primarily run by participants from Greece, the UK, Germany and Sweden. SQO-OSS set out to deliver two years from now. Neato.
