Abstract: Open Source Software (OSS) and the communities that maintain it play an ever lasting role in the field of software development. The Linux Foundation’s Census of Free and Open Source Software states that 96% of codebases use Free and Open Source Software (Nagle et al., 2024). As the number of open source software (OSS) components used in a project increases, the project becomes increasingly dependent on the communities that maintain them. This raises questions about community health and sustainability. This thesis aims to develop an approach for assessing and potentially rating the health of Open Source Projects using standardized metrics introduced by the Community Health Analytics in Open Source Software (CHAOSS) project, and to integrate the results into the Software Composition Analysis tool SCA Tool.
