What is the normal acceptable ratio of number of bugs to number of lines of untested java code ? I intend to use this metric to arrange training for java developers whose code has more bugs than what is normal. Please provide source of the answer as well. |

According to a 5 year study carried out at Carnegie Mellon University (Humpherey) in the US, programmers on average make 100-150 errors per 1000 lines that they code. I would guess you could use a similar ratio for java coding. |

If you are using this for a report, you could always mention that the use of a modern IDE (integrated development environment) like eclipse, greatly reduces trivial coding errors. |
