An open source software project, originally propped up by European Commission (EC) funds, has released an alpha version of its quality control program, Alitheia Core.
Software Quality Observatory for Open Source Software (SQO-OSS – pronounced squash) is intended to develop tools based on identified metrics to define and check the quality of open source software.
European businesses, academics and open source software projects developed the new application.
Alitheia Core has been released under the 2-clause BSD licence. Features include system admin for new project data installs, a cross-language metrics tool and a web-based user interface that will display calculation results.
The group’s project coordinator Professor Diomidis Spinellis said: “This release opens up SQO-OSS to the scrutiny of the open source software developers and users community. It demonstrates SQO-OSS's commitment to the deployment of a practical working system.”
In recent months the EC has upped its apparent commitment to open source adoption among government agencies throughout the 27 member states.
