Abstract
With the popularity of the open source, the open source community has accumulated a large number of open source project. While these massive projects provide developers with rich reusable resource, they also bring difficulties for users to choose the appropriate software. Therefore, it is very meaningful to rank the software and tell users which is better. In this paper, we propose a novel approach that ranks software based on a global perspective different from traditional software evaluation and ranking methods. We evaluate the software from four dimensions, namely community popularity, development activity, software health and team health. Each dimension contains some metrics. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our method through comparative experiments. This method has been integrated into to the OSSEAN platform to form a software leaderboard.
