ABSTRACT
In recent years, more and more companies have moved from closed source software development to open source software (OSS) development. The reliability assessment of OSS has become an important issue. However, due to the lack of a standardized development process and uncertain number of participating developers, it is hard to measure the reliability of OSS compared to closed source software. This paper proposes a framework for reliability automatic assessment of OSS based on JIRA. It contains the failure data acquisition module, the reliability modeling module, and the reliability attribute analysis module. The proposed framework is applied on popular OSS Kafka to assess its reliability. The experimental results are compared with previous work related to OSS reliability assessment and show that the proposed framework is good for the reliability assessment of OSS.
