- vog 10y agoGood point! My first reaction was: This is insane. Nobody is perfect. Let's try to reduce the bug rate to 1 bug / 100,000 LOC and we have achieved more than we can hope for. However, thinking more about it, if you have a system with 1 million LOC and reduced your bug rate to 1 / 100,000 LOC, this means you need to fix 10 more bugs and you are 100% bug free. This doesn't sound infeasible at all. (ALthough it may be hard.)
