Open source software presents new opportunities for software acquisition but introduces risks. The selection of open source applications should take into account both features and security risks. Risks include security vulnerabilities, of which published vulnerabilities are only the tip of the iceberg. Having an application's source code lets us look deeper at its security. SAVI (Static-Analysis Vulnerability Indicator) is a metric for assessing risks of using software built by external developers. It combines several types of static-analysis data to rank application vulnerability.
| selected citations These citations are derived from selected sources. This is an alternative to the "Influence" indicator, which also reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | 21 | |
| popularity This indicator reflects the "current" impact/attention (the "hype") of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network. | Top 10% | |
| influence This indicator reflects the overall/total impact of an article in the research community at large, based on the underlying citation network (diachronically). | Top 10% | |
| impulse This indicator reflects the initial momentum of an article directly after its publication, based on the underlying citation network. | Top 10% |
