Abstract
The offering and adoption of open source software is growing and today it is an option for users, when they have to accomplish certain tasks, to do their own research on the web to find open source software they can download and install on their computer or use in the Cloud as a Software as a Service (SaaS). From the IT untrained user, no tools or guideline are available in order to evaluate or compare the quality of open source software. How to evaluate the quality of software is not a simple task and more often, the IT untrained user will be unaware of the quality of the software chosen to perform tasks and achieve a goal. This paper presents a basic method for the evaluation of the quality of open source software from an IT untrained user perspective.
