How it works
From open-source consideration to validated handover
OsTaaS provides a repeatable path for evaluating or rescuing open-source technology and software projects. The exact scope varies by engagement, but the control model remains consistent.
- 01
Discover
Tell us what you are considering, what problem you are trying to solve, or what project is stuck. You can begin from the Open Source Atlas or create a project directly.
- 02
Define the project
Describe the goal, current state, problem, success criteria and relevant source repository or environment.
- 03
Connect what is needed
When source access is required, authorize the specific repository through GitHub, GitLab, Azure DevOps or Bitbucket. OsTaaS requests only the access required for the approved workflow.
- 04
Build Sandbox
Request an isolated testing or validation environment. The request remains scoped to the workspace and project and moves through an auditable approval and provisioning lifecycle.
- 05
Test Together
OsTaaS reproduces the target state, performs the agreed tests, records working sessions and captures evidence. Your team can review progress without surrendering control of the source system.
- 06
Review findings
Findings explain what was observed, why it matters and what remediation or additional testing is recommended.
- 07
Approve or Improve
When source changes are appropriate, OsTaaS prepares a remediation proposal. The customer explicitly approves or rejects implementation and push.
- 08
Return the change
Approved remediation is implemented on an OsTaaS project branch, validated, pushed to the authorized repository, and returned through a PR/MR. OsTaaS does not force-push protected branches by default.
- 09
Deliver / Handover
The engagement closes with agreed evidence, test results, remediation details, repository references, remaining risk and recommended next steps.
