(vetgedrukt van mij)Open source quality is on par with proprietary code quality, particularly in cases where codebases are of similar size.
The average codebase size for proprietary codebases in our sample is 7.5 million lines of code, significantly larger than the average for open source software included in our analysis. Therefore, to make a more direct comparison we looked at the defect density of proprietary code against open source codebases of similar size. The average defect density for proprietary codebases of Coverity users is .64, which is better than the average defect density of 1.0 for the software industry. We also found that open source code quality is on par with proprietary code quality for codebases of similar size. For instance, Linux 2.6 has nearly 7 million lines of code and a defect density of .62, which is roughly identical to that of its proprietary codebase counterparts.
