Proceedings of the OSS 2011 Doctoral Consortium

An increasing number of open source software projects are formally defining a QA step in the development cycle. This research seeks to establish what kinds of open source software projects are adopting QA practices and at what stage in their maturity, how projects define QA and which community members are undertaking QA.
