Category:OWASP Project Assessment - Update

The following defines the quality levels for OWASP TOOLS and DOCUMENTATION (Projects). Rating projects against these criteria aid in recognizing excellent contributions and identifying projects in need of further work. All existing OWASP projects and their current ratings are here.

The Tool ratings are reasonably complete. The documentation rates still need to be developed.

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 a project (tool or documentation) to the OWASP Projects? : To propose a new project, please send an email to [mailto:owasp@owasp.org?subject=New_OWASP_Project_idea OWASP].
 * 3. How does the assessment scale work? : Each category has a set of requirements/criteria to be met. Beta Quality implies that all of its requirements, as well as the Alpha Quality requirement have been met. Release Quality implies that all of the requirements, including Alpha and Beta, have been met.
 * 4. Who can assess projects? : [mailto:paulo.coimbra@owasp.org The OWASP Project Manager] can assign you a reviewer.
 * 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 rationale.
 * 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. Alternatively, 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 [mailto:owasp@owasp.org OWASP] or its [mailto:paulo.coimbra@owasp.org Project Manager] directly.
