Highlights
Open source software (OSS) products have become popular in the information technology-based business scene
In order to examine a difference in the faultproneness between multi-developer files and singledeveloper files, we compared the fault-proneness of the multi-developer source files with that of the single-developer ones
On RQ1, we compared the set of single-developer source files and that of multi-developer ones in terms of the fault-proneness
Summary
Open source software (OSS) products have become popular in the information technology-based business scene. Many commercial products or services are (partially) developed, maintained or operated by using OSS products such as Linux, Apache HTTP server, PostgreSQL, Firefox, Eclipse, OpenStack, etc. According to a survey on OSS products which was reported in June 20171, 60% of the survey respondents said their organizations’ use of OSS products increased in 2016.
