Software-Aided Feature Selection for Open Source Software by Applying Brainstorming Methodology Based on Existing Open Source Software

摘要

Teams with small size lacks of expert knowledge while starting a new open source software (OSS) project where there exists no client. They need to do lot of research on existing projects in order to decide software features as well as to make the best use of OSS. In this research we propose a software-aided system to support OSS requirement eliciting process by applying brainstorming methodology - hint keywords generated from source-code package and file name property are provided by the system - based on existing OSS projects. Furthermore, we also discuss about a technique to prepare an OSS knowledge base. Such a software-aided system can help developers to get new insight and as well to make the development process rapid.
