Abstract: Open Source Software (OSS) quality evaluation is essential for ensuring the adoption and effective use of OSS projects across various domains.Most works on OSS quality evaluation have focused on the development of models or frameworks rather than providing practical implementations.These proposals can be challenging to use for inexperienced users, which highlights the need for user-friendly tools.This paper presents preliminary findings from a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) that investigates the characteristics, limitations, and gaps of current Quality Evaluation Tools (QETs) for OSS.Our analysis reveals the diversity of quality models underlying these tools and the absence of standardization, which impedes the comparability and reliability of evaluation results.This work also informs the next steps in improving OSS quality evaluation practices.
