Reading this comment, I was thinking "Oh that must mean the test code is 2x or maybe even 3x the amount of source code"
Going to the SQLite web site, I was surprised to find that the test code is 600x larger than the source code. Impressive.
Is this 600:1 ratio typical for other projects? The ones that I have seen are more like 1x or 2x, but I have not worked with many open source systems.
- baq 4y agoThey count post-codegen test LOC, the checked in ratio is much smaller - used to be something like 5:1. Still super impressive!
