Abstract

The open-source community produces a wide range of software products every year. However, there are often significant differences between the set of functionalities and/or non-functional requirements demanded by the end-users and what the available software offers. Therefore, often an open-source system cannot simply be adopted; it has to be adapted. In this paper we propose a new process framework for adapting open-source software. We call it FEChADO which is an acronym of the six steps it consists of: Find available solutions, Evaluate solutions from the list, Choose the most appropriate solution, Adapt the solution, Develop new modules, Obtain users’ feedback. The framework is a direct result of our practical experiences from developing software based on open-source components.
