'On the one hand WhatsApp probably have more people working on the app'
From a career in software development, I tend to feel that the more devs, the buggier. Maybe, MAYBE (number of QA)/(number of devs) = reliability coefficient.
- edmundsauto 7y agoThe size of the red team could also be significantly larger. The more people you have looking for security holes the more likely to find them
- carlmr 7y agoCorrelates with my experience, too, however size of the QA team is not a reliable indicator. I've seen it first hand where the QA is huge, but doesn't have good devs, only people that point out process flaws.
- wolco 7y agoA QA team is trying to find bugs with the current release. They are not looking for mitm attacks or misuse. That would be more security who are generally looking for more obvious issues at the network level.
