Method for cooperative behavior measurement aiming at open source software

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for cooperative behavior measurement aiming at open source software. Traditional methods depend on experience and lack specific quantitative standards; and most methods are based on correlations in one cooperation and neglect the situation that two developers may conduct cooperation for many times, but the multiple times of cooperation between the developers will generate different effects on the open source software quality, so analysis results of cooperative behaviors cannot obey actual project development situations. According to the invention, open source data is acquired at first, the cooperation amount between the project developers is extracted, and a project cooperative matrix can be established; according to the project cooperative matrix, a point weight mean value of a network of the project developers as well as a mean value of weight cluster coefficients in the development network are computed; and linear weighting summation is conducted on the point weight mean value and the weight cluster coefficient mean value, so a cooperative behavior measurement value of an open source project can be obtained. According to the invention, though numerical measurement of the developers' cooperative behaviors in the open source software, a quantified value of the developers' cooperation of the whole software can be obtained, so that quality assessment of the open source software can be supported.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention is a method for measuring the collaborative behavior of open source software participants, and aims to use the collaborative behavior measurement obtained through the technology as an evaluation attribute of open source software quality evaluation, which can play a role in improving the accuracy of open source software quality evaluation. Background technique [0002] Open source software is a type of computer software whose source code is freely available, and is usually jointly developed by many developers. With the rapid development of the software industry, the number of open source software is increasing exponentially, and the quality assessment of open source software has become a huge challenge. At present, many open source software are jointly developed by developers, and the collaboration and interaction mechanism in the project team has an important impact on the success or failure of the software project. In order to e...

Problems solved by technology

Scholars at home and abroad use the developer cooperation network to analyze the developer cooperation behavior, but they focus on the developer's preferred cooperative relationship research, and most of the evaluation of the developer's collaborative behavior of the entire software is based on experience without specific quantitative standards; On the other hand, when analyzing the cooperative relationship between developers, most of the edges in the network are not assigned weights, that is, they do not consider the situation that two people cooperate many times. However, the number of cooperation between developers reflects the degree of cooperation between developers. Multiple cooperations between the authors may have different impacts on the quality of open source software, making the results of collaborative behavior analysis unable to meet the actual needs of open source software quality evaluation, and there is still a distance from the actual application. There is an urgent need for a new method to solve the problem of open source software.
