No sources for any of the figures given, so not so interesting

The sources are all at the bottom of the infographic. Larger version of the infographic is here: http://blog.sourceninja.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/sourc...

Thanks - I guess this is part of why I don't like infographics so much. I prefer written analysis with footnoted/hyperlinked sources so it's immediately clear where I can check how plausible the presented figures are. The graphics do look nice enough, though

Very misleading. Third-party != open source.

bretthardin3• 15 years ago

We agree. Third party does not mean open source.

"Software vendors have started to address these problems through the adoption of static analysis and best practices, but these processes often extend only to the code that they themselves author, not the open source they rely on. Recent data shows that 70% of internally developed software is tested for bugs, but only 35% of third party code is tested."

You are talking about third-party and open source as they were the same.
