A2. Software history trackability¶
Whether code and metadata are available even when the software is no longer in use.
To match software provenance with analysed data provenance.
A2.1. Existence of metadata of previous versions in software repositories¶
What is being measured?¶
- Whether there is available metadata of previous versions.
Why should we measure it?¶
