Coverity™, Inc., the leader in improving software quality and security, today announced the availability of the Scan Report on Open Source Software 2008. The Coverity Scan site was developed with support from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security as part of the federal government’s ‘Open Source Hardening Project.’ The report is based on 2 years of analysis of more than 55 million lines of code on a recurring basis from over 250 popular open source projects with Coverity Prevent™, the industry-leading static source code analysis solution.
“The continued improvement of projects that already possess strong code quality and security underscores the commitment of open source developers to create software of the highest integrity,” said David Maxwell, open source strategist for Coverity. “Working with the open source community over the past two years has been an exceptional opportunity for researchers at both the Scan site and Coverity. Based on preliminary feedback from preview readers, the report contains thought provoking information about defect density and code complexity and provides a strong foundation for future research on the nature of software.”

I hope to see that day."
