  abstract      = {Open Source software development has led many to reconsider their old beliefs and conceptions about software, a critical aspect of which is its development process.  In this paper, we attempt to show how “universal” software engineering (SE) principles do not fully apply to Open Source projects. We considered two such projects, Mozilla and Apache, showing that planning, specification, and design that are generally a must in conventional SE, are not as critical to the quality of the software being produced.  By closely analyzing the development model of Open Source, we show how it follows what could be termed an “implementation model”, based on a quick cycle of coding and testing and access to unlimited programming resources offsetting the need to plan hence to follow the conventional stages of SE}
