EclipseConEurope2014

The Maturity Assessment process had a slot at the EclipseCon Europe Unconference, on Monday 27th of October 2014.

The slides can be downloaded from SpeakerDeck:

• Session 1: the quality model.
• Session 2: the metrics.
• Session 3: the proof of concept.

Slides for the Quality Day talk have been uploaded to the EclipseCon web site.

Feedback

Both sessions gathered around 20 (different) people each. They generally showed a deep interest for this work.

Here is a summary of the feedback.

• There is a new tool in Eclipse for licence checking in products. Can it be used?
• Security may be added to the product quality characteristics.
• Reviews are very important for the maturity of components, and should be added (both metrics and quality attributes).
• There should be a ecosystem attribute for documentation (for now documentation is only checked at the product level). It could be assessed through accessibility, quality, completeness, frequency of updates.
• There should be a "embed snippet in your web site" code so projects can show off their rating.
• Visualisation could be improved by adding colours for the scales.
• The marketplace should be accessed through a REST API.
