Abstract

Open source software serve as key components of critical infrastructures in the social life. We focus on the quality problems of open source software developed under open source project. In case of considering the effect of the debugging process on an entire system in the development of a method of reliability assessment for open source project, it is necessary to grasp the deeply-intertwined factors, such as programming path, size of each component, skill of fault reporters, and so on.
