[Healeys] Off Topic (sort of)

[Jim LeBlanc]

I question the statistic of 10 million lines of code in a car. Industry
average "bugs per line of code" (a little guesswork here as I have not studied
these stats in some years) is about 1 per 10,000 lines. So at 10,000,000 lines
of code we would expect about 1000 bugs.
 
Of course GM and Ford and . . . . produce "bug free code" unlike Apple and
Microsoft . . .
 
10M lines of code would cover something like Linux or Unix or Windows. Maybe
these people are counting the operating system and then on top of that the
lines of code required to manage the systems.
 
Something is not right about this number, 10M lines of code.
