| Abstract | Background: Open Source Software (OSS) is used by a continuously growing number of people, both end-users and developers. The quality of OSS is thus an issue of increasing interest. Specifically, OSS stakeholders need to trust OSS with respect to a number of qualities. Objective: This paper focuses on the level of trust that OSS stakeholders have in OSS reliability, one of the most important software qualities. The goal of the work reported here is to investigate to what extent the perception of reliability by users depends on objectively measurable characteristics of software. Method: We collected subjective user evaluations of the reliability of 22 Java OSS products, and then we measured their code characteristics that are generally believed to affect the quality of software. Finally, we carried out a correlational study to predict the perceived level of reliability of OSS based on the measured characteristics of the software code. Result: We obtained a set of statistically significant quantitative models, collectively called MOSST\REL, which account for the dependence of the perceived reliability of OSS on objectively observable qualities of Java code. Conclusions: The models we obtained can be used by: 1) endusers and developers that would like to reuse existing OSS products and components, to evaluate the perceived level of reliability of these OSS products that can be expected based on the characteristics of code; 2) the developers of OSS products, who can set code quality targets based on the level of perceived reliability they want to achieve. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
