If you’ve used Mozilla Firefox , Google Chrome TM , Linux , or… If you’ve used Mozilla Firefox®, Google Chrome TM, Linux®, or Android TM phones, you’re using open source components. In many cases, the development of Open Source Software (OSS) is performed by a community of programmers, worldwide, that contribute their time and energy without seeking a financial return. In fact, there are websites, like OSSWATCH, (Links to an external site.)  that provide guidance on how to build open source software. The Linux Foundation (Links to an external site.) (2018) states that freely distributed open source software is often developed in a collaborative manner and has resulted in significant consumer cost saving.You should also consider the quality of Open Source Software. Read the (Abedour, 2007) IEEE Software article, Achieving Quality in Open Source Software/Hunt Library (Links to an external site.), for a better understanding.In this module, we looked at software-related vulnerabilities and at various fault/failure models and testing methodologies. In light of this knowledge, address the following questions:What do you think of the growing trend of using Open Source software in the commercial industry?Do you think this perception has changed over the last decade with the introduction of more cloud-based project/software management platforms?In addressing your discussion questions, you can speak to costs, time to market, reliability, vulnerability, security, safety, testing, or other QA-related topics.Focus on one area at a time so that we have independent, consistent threads. If you see a particular thread getting skewed too far in one direction, however, feel free to play devil’s advocate and attempt to logically argue the opposing side. Please keep your response themes somewhat independent – addressing a different aspect of the overarching topic, not just reiterating what was said before.  Engineering & Technology Industrial Engineering SYSE 625 Share QuestionEmailCopy link
