How to find OSS trends for web development
Overview
It is difficult to choose the right OSS from the number of stars. However, it's easy to know the trends of popular OSS if you know how to do it. Here, we have organized how to check OSS trends to help you select OSS.
OSS related terms
OSS related terms.
- FOSS : Free/Open Source Software
A generic term for free software and OSS. - OSS : Open Source Software
Software that publishes and distributes source code. The conditions for publication and distribution do not matter. Therefore, various license forms such as non-commercial use and prohibition of redistribution can be taken. - Free Software
It is not so-called free software (free software), but software that can be freely modified and distributed.
OSS evaluation method
The academic evaluation method of OSS was actively discussed, with about 20 types proposed by Carnegie Mellon University and others in the early 2000s. The evaluation method is detailed at the link below.
[Open Source Software Assessment Method](https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82%AA%E3%83%BC%E3%83%97%E3%83%B3%E3%82%BD % E3% 83% BC% E3% 82% B9% E3% 82% BD% E3% 83% 95% E3% 83% 88% E3% 82% A6% E3% 82% A7% E3% 82% A2% E8 % A9% 95% E4% BE% A1% E6% 89% 8B% E6% B3% 95)
Research on evaluation methods has since declined, and few papers are currently available (around 2020). Instead, the proposed evaluation methods are being verified and compared.
-[Takudai Matsumoto, et al. Initial survey for OSS preliminary evaluation for OSS introduction in product development. Research Report Software Engineering (SE), 2015, 2015.1: 1-5.](Https: // ipsj. ixsq.nii.ac.jp/ej/index.php?action=pages_view_main&active_action=repository_action_common_download&item_id=146487&item_no=1&attribute_id=1&file_no=1&page_id=13&block_id=8)
According to this, the smaller the cyclomatic complexity and the number of commits, the more books and website commentary articles, the better the quality. (I think it's natural ...)
