Abstract

To identify the Open Source maintenance process two well known Open Source projects Apache HTTP server and Mozilla web browser were studied. The Open Source software maintenance process is formal even anyone can submit modifications or defect reports to Open Source software projects. We assume that the Open Source maintenance process is similar to the maintenance process defined by the ISO/IEC. In the case studies. four activities were found similar to the activities of the ISO/IEC Maintenance process. This paper presents the Open Source maintenance process framework. The framework is exemplified with the ISO/IEC Maintenance process framework.
