Basis for claim that the number of bugs per line of code is constant regardless of the language used
- by Matt R
I've heard people say (although I can't recall who in particular) that the number of bugs per line of code is roughly constant regardless of what language is used. What is the research that backs this up?
Edited to add: I don't have access to it, but apparently the authors of this paper
"asked the question whether the number of bugs per lines of code (LOC) is the same for programs written in different programming languages or not."
