Challenges in using open source software in product development: a review of the literature
conference contribution
posted on 2012-07-23, 10:21 authored by Klaas-Jan Stol, Muhammad Ali BabarComponent-Based Software Development has become a popular
approach to building software intensive systems. Besides using
Commercial Off-The-Shelf components, an organization may
choose to use Open Source Software components. Using OSS
has been reported to have many benefits, but there are also
challenges involved. Understanding the potential challenges of
using OSS in developing products is important for practitioners,
so they become aware of them and can anticipate them and take
appropriate measures to address these challenges. We have
performed a thorough review of the literature to identify
challenges that may arise, as reported in the literature. This
paper presents and discusses these findings. Researchers can
discuss potential causes and solutions of our synthesized
findings as well as benefit from provided references to literature
on OSS challenges as input for future research.
