How does the code quality compare between open source and proprietary
software?
Open source code - 0.69 defects / 1000 lines code
Excuse me. IT should be 0%.
It means that open source community is "passable" or IOW is worse
Is it practically possible to have 0 defects in a project with a million
lines of code with contributors from around the world? I thought it is
awesome that open source development spread around the world can reach a
defect density of 0.69/1000 compared to 0.68/1000 for proprietary software.
In fact the article says that Linux is the benchmark for quality at a
defect density of 0.59/1000 for 7.6 million lines of code.
