Increased popularity of open source software has led to a considerable proliferation of alternative software. However, this being the case, an evident lack of academic studies that would contribute to the evaluation of open source software for organizations has turned the process of selecting the most suitable open source software product that meets the users’ quality requirements into an appealing research problem. In this study, a comprehensive method to solve this problem has been obtained from the synthesis of existing studies in the literature with our contribution, which enables product evaluation using both code-based and community-based assessment. In order to perform code-based evaluation, internal attributes of the latest quality model ISO 25010 were used, and the proper metrics were employed in an attempt to measure these attributes. Furthermore, to perform community-based evaluation, metrics obtained from historical data such as e-mailing lists, program reports, frequently asked questions, etc. were utilized.
