Inm-an integration model resolving 3rd party source codecomponent incorporation issues during open source software development

الملخص EN

In Open Source Software Development (OSSD) Community, numbers of designers collaborate with each other for developing software by using or modifying source codes of previously developed software.

OSS is well known for free software which can be used by designers with freedoms on cost and copyrights.

Many open source designers need to integrate third party open source codes and components within their target code.

While integration, the designers might face various OSS issues like Compatibility, Interoperability, Testability and Documentation.

The designers might also face some Performance and Privacy related issues after source code integration.

In order to overcome all these issues, in this paper, a model named In M (Integration Model) has been proposed which will enable the designers to tackle all the integration issues in a manageable and manner able way.

At the end, the proposed model is verified by taking an open source case study named “Moodle”.

In order to overcome the Performance and Privacy issue that arises after integration, an integrated source code has been monitored on a weekly basis and the monitoring details are shown in the form of statistics.
