I've seen a study (in a recent ACM Journal article) indicating that OSS is neither better nor worse than proprietary code in this respect. It all depends on the quality of the implementation and the skill of the developers. Testing remains one of the least-understood aspects of the art of computer programming. Plenty of commercial developers release poorly-tested crap, too. -- joq
