Purpose

Project Reviews is a process within OWASP to help evaluate the health and quality of OWASP projects. The evaluation is based on a defined criteria which attempts to find out the progress and at which stage development the projects are.


Background

Projects are divided in 3 main categories:

  • Code
  • Tools
  • Documentation

These are the 3 main development classifications

  • Incubators
  • LAB
  • Flagship


How can you contribute

We need regular or season reviewers to help us evaluate projects.

This is how you can help us evaluate the health of a project

  • Check the criteria that applies for each project type here:
  • Follow the criteria and do some research
  • Create a new Google sheet
  • Fill in the sheet. Try to add to your report also some print screens, hyperlinks, in other words how did you came to the conclusions and findings in the comments sections. It is very important that you can sustain the findings provided in your report sheet
  • share the sheet through the Project task force mailing list

Quality of a Code/Tool projects: This kind of evaluation requires more work. It is necessary to download and install the project. The criteria to evaluate the minim quality of a project is very simple:

For Code and Tools

For projects holding Flagship status, we closely monitor their health every 6 months on the following, among other key indicators:

  • Can the project be built correctly?
  • Does the project has any activity(commits) in the last 6 months?
  • Does the project had any releases in the last 6 months?
  • Has the project leaders updated his wiki or website to reflect latest releases?

For Documentation

For this part, we are working on the development of an adequate assessment criteria The following is a draft of the new process proposal: [Proposal for Reviewing OWASP Document projects]
