Following our last post on how log analytics and code analysis tools are becoming all the more essential in the world of complex and distributed systems, this post will introduce 5 amazing facts on exactly how much time is spent on debugging and code fixing in the software industry.
1) On average, a developer creates 70 bugs per 1000 lines of code (!)
2) 15 bugs per 1,000 lines of code find their way to the customers
3) Fixing a bug takes 30 times longer than writing a line of code
4) 75% of a developer’s time is spent on debugging (1500 hours a year!)
5) In the US alone, $113B is spent annually on identifying & fixing product defects
