| Summary: | Open Source Software (OSS) has impacted
software industry and recently became extremely popular.
Many agencies, especially the Malaysian government
agencies are capitalizing on open source projects due to the
merit it offers. Due to the vast usage in the industry and
government administrations, there is a colossal need to
investigate on the quality of applications. Therefore, this
research will study the quality factors of OSS used by
Malaysian government, namely MyMeeting, and
MyTaskManager. In this research, McCall’s Quality Factor
Model is used as a quality model and it emphasizes on
quality factors such as maintainability, correctness,
reliability, efficiency and usability. This research utilizes six
object-oriented metrics by Chidamber and Kemerer (CK) to
measure the quality factors of OSS. The metrics were
analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences
(SPSS). Results from the data analysis show that coupling
and complexity influence the class size. |
