摘要: This chapter surveys a sample of empirical studies Open Source Software (OSS) evolution. According to these, the classical findings in proprietary software evolution, such as Lehman’s laws might need be revised, at least part, account for OSS observations. The book summarises what appears status each with respect and highlights threats validity that frequently emerge this type research.
