Final Thesis: Managing Organization Data for Patch-Flow Measurement

Abstract: Open source practices and the establishment of an open source like culture within organizations is also called Inner Source (IS). The existing software Collaboration Metric Suite (CMSuite) provides metrics about collaboration between software projects. These metrics can validate the application of IS in organizations. However, the underlying model of the CMSuite currently only supports simple hierarchical organizational structures. Organizations with a more complex structure can not be correctly mapped. In this thesis, a model was designed and integrated into the CMSuite, that fulfills the requirements of a complex organizational structure. For this purpose, two case studies, which show the weaknesses of the current model, were studied. Finally, it was shown that dealing with complex organization structures is not a problem for the CMSuite anymore.
