Abstract

Open source software is gaining popularity and significance in recent years. Similarly, testability is a residual software property which the developers and users no longer ignore. This is because if the testability of software is high, the test effort and development cost decrease proportionally. This is the case because test effort is highly affected by testability. In this paper, we investigate the relationship between test effort and success of the open source software by employing source codes and easily accessible parameters from the repository. Moreover, the proposed methods are empirically examined by analyzing 17 open source software projects. According to the empirical results, a meaningful positive correlation is obtained between test effort and success. This implies the importance of preparing test scenarios and codes to obtain successful open source software project.
