Objective: Besides: Community plays a very important role in Open source. An active community helps us understand if issues are fixed quickly if the code is reviewed well, and if the community is diverse and active. In short, it tells us how dependable and long-lasting the tool is.
Outcome: We collect data on issues, commits, forks, stars, etc., and use formulas to calculate a score that shows how fast and reliable the company is in helping its customers. We consider the following factors and give a score that tells you how good the tool’s support and community are:
  1. Issues Resolution Time: Time to fix problems.
  2. Closed Issues/Total Created Issues: Issue completion ratio.
  3. Review Closing Time: Time for code reviews.
  4. Reviews Closed/No. of Reviews: Review completion ratio.
  5. Contributors’ Diversity: Variety of project contributors.
  6. Release Frequency: How often updates are published.
  7. Growth in Active Contributors, Stars, Forks: Project popularity and activity.
  8. Social Links: Project’s online presence.
