The Life cycle for the expansion of traditional commercial software is well established and discussed in various research papers in detail. On the contrary, in case of Open Source Software (OSS),life cycle for the development is not being discussed in much detail since there exist no standardized life cycle approach for Open Source Software (OSS) development. Different researchers and developers have projected various life cycles for the development of OSS with respect to their own development experience, requirement or application. The popularity of the open source software development in the most recent decade, has brought about an increased interest from the industry on how to use open source components, participate in the open source community, develop business models around this type of software development, and learn more about open source development methodologies. The main focus of this paper is on reviewing the Open Source Software (OSS).
