The CRASH Report
January 16, 2012 Leave a Comment
In December, Cast software, the maker of software quality tools, released their second annual CRASH (Cast Report on Application Software Health) report. The report rated the “health” of world-wide software applications by examining the source code of 745 applications (~365 million lines of code), from 160 different companies, spanning 10 industry sectors, and 8 programming languages. The code examination flagged 1800 different types of development and architecture violations that compromise application “health” in 5 major categories.
Though the report does not mention Documentum or ECM directly, it is an interesting and insightful read to say the least. I wrote a longer blog post about it here. The 22-page executive summary can be downloaded from Cast here.
