(Work in progress)
This assessment area focuses on assessing the quality of OWASP TOOLS and DOCUMENTATION (Projects). The resulting ratings are used within the project to aid in recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work.
FAQ
- 1. What is the purpose of the project ratings?
- The rating system allows OWASP to monitor the quality of Projects in our subject areas, and to prioritize work on these projects. It is also utilized to prepare for static releases of Wikipedia content.
- 2. How do I add an project (tool or documentation) to the OWASP Projects?
- To propose a new project, please send an email to OWASP.
- 3. How does the assessment scale works?
- Each category should have a certain amount of requirements/criteria to accomplish. The second category (Beta Quality) implies that all of its requirements, as well as the ones defined for the category below (Alpha Quality), have been accomplished. The last category (Quality Release) implies that all of its requirements, as well as the ones defined for the categories below (Alpha and Beta), have been accomplished.
- 4. Who can assess projects?
- WORK IN PROGRESS
- 5. Why didn't the reviewer leave any comments?
- Unfortunately, due to the volume of projects that need to be assessed, we are unable to leave detailed comments in most cases. If you have particular questions, you might ask the person who assessed the project; they will be happy to provide you with their reasoning.
- 6. What if I don't agree with a rating?
- You can list it in the section for assessment requests below, and someone will take a look at it. Alternately, you can ask any member of the project to rate the project again.
- 7. Aren't the ratings subjective?
- Yes, they are somewhat subjective, but it's the best system we've been able to devise. If you have a better idea, please don't hesitate to let us know!
- 8. What if I have a question not listed here?
- If your question concerns the project assessment process specifically, please contact the OWASP or its Project Manager directly.
