“…Therefore, there should be standardized definitions of the metrics and the guidance to use them in a meta‐model. However, considering the findings of our recent SLR study, 9 there are only two meta‐models 85,86 available for the evaluation of OSS, and the aspects that these meta‐models evaluate are limited. In the study, 85 only a few elements are used while proposing a meta‐model and therefore OSS cannot be evaluated in all aspects.…”

“…In the study, 85 only a few elements are used while proposing a meta‐model and therefore OSS cannot be evaluated in all aspects. The other study 86 claims that software systems depend increasingly on the use of external OSS libraries and proposes a meta‐model that only measures the quality of external OSS libraries in terms of trustworthiness. Apart from this, in order to create a well‐defined meta‐model, it is necessary to understand the structure of the existing QEMoF clearly, and the answers to RQ1.2 and RQ2.2 may help researchers in gaining this understanding.…”

As open project repositories have become widespread, evaluating the quality of open source software (OSS) has gained attention in the software community. Despite the variety in quality evaluation models or frameworks (QEMoF) proposed for OSS, their adoption in practice remains limited. To further investigate this argument, a systematic literature review (SLR) has been conducted to characterize the existing QEMoF for OSS, based on particular properties, and to examine comprehensively their content and structure for identifying the gap between theory and practice. In this context, a total of 36 primary studies in the period of 2003-2020 have been analyzed. It has been identified that the majority of QEMoF takes ISO/IEC 9126 as a reference, evaluates community-based aspects, mostly evaluates maintainability and usability as quality attributes, supports subjective and quantitative evaluations, and faces challenges due to diverse and dynamic nature of OSS products. For a better overview of the state of the art in the field, evaluation criteria for comparing the overall quality of the QEMoF are identified and applied. Finally, overall findings are discussed, and suggestions are provided for practitioners and researchers to formulate more robust studies in the future, which can advance the current situation for the benefit of the software community.
