Code Quality
A study by Reasoning, the leading provider of automated software inspection (ASI) services, concluded that the code quality of MySQL ranks higher than commercial equivalents.
Specifically, Reasoning found that:
- MySQL code quality was 6x better than that of comparable proprietary code
- MySQL benefits from the large communities of programmers who "battle test" the code
- MySQL benefits from users who not only report bugs, but track down their root cause and fix them
MySQL has a defect density that is about six times lower than comparable proprietary projects.
A follow up study by Coverity found that MySQL had an average of one bug in every 4,000 lines of code --results that are more than four times better than is typical with commercial software. MySQL has used Coverity products to detect and fix:
- Crash Causing Defects
- Performance Degradation
- Security Vulnerabilities
MySQL Network certified software is tested on more than ten different platforms using tools from Coverity and Klocwork.
