Open-source technology is a viable strategy for many enterprises. It can also be a very risky strategy. Address the risk prior to technology adoption. Use antipatterns to avoid the most common open-source pitfalls.
What Are Antipatterns?
"Antipatterns" describe practices that enterprises, consultants, integrators, designers, and programmers should avoid. This term stands in direct contrast to "patterns," which describe common and replicable best practices for software design.
Info-Tech's antipatterns describe the worst practices of open-source software adoption by enterprises. In each case, the same process is required to resolve the antipattern: revisit technology processes and assumptions.
