OpenHub: a scalable architecture for the analysis of software quality attributes

Abstract

There is currently a vast array of open source projects available on the web, and although they are searchable by name or description in the search engines, there is no way to search for projects by how well they perform on a given set of quality attributes (e.g. usability or maintainability). With OpenHub, we present a scalable and extensible architecture for the static and runtime analysis of open source repositories written in Python, presenting the architecture and pinpointing future possibilities with it.
