• Popularity

Popularity attributes allows us to understand the package adoption and community size.

These are the kind of attributes that a person looks at when they are undecided on the package choice.

• Number of stars
• Number of forks
• Number of subscribers
• Number of contributors
• Number of dependents
• Number of downloads
• Downloads acceleration

• Quality

Quality attributes are easy to calculate because they are self-contained. These are the kind of attributes that a person looks at first when checking out a package.

• Has README? Has license? Has .gitignore and friends?
• Is the version stable (> 1.x.x)? Is it deprecated?
• Has tests? What's their coverage %? Is the build passing?
• Has outdated dependencies? Do they have vulnerabilities?
• Has custom website? Has badges?
• Are there linters configured?

• Maintenance

Maintenance attributes allows us to understand if the package is active and healthy or if it is abandoned. These are typically the second kind of attributes that a person looks at when examining a package.

• Ratio of open issues vs. total issues
• The time it takes to close issues
• Most recent commit
• Commit frequency
• Release frequency
