Due to the reasons, we opted for choosing open source
tools in order to construct a software development
infrastructure. There was no financial cost to purchase
software tools or license. Even though TRICA is based on
open source tools, its capabilities are comparable to those of
proprietary software-based framework. Many open source
communities are tightly related with others and support
integration with tools developed by other projects. This
helped us resolve support issues that caused by using the
open source tools. Furthermore, most widely used open
source software has been proven with good quality and their
communities are pretty helpful to get references and
information based on their participants’ extensive
experiences [11].
