Â This report describes the effects of different industrial factors on structural quality. Structural quality differed across technologies with COBOL applications generally having the lowest densities of critical weaknesses, while JAVA-EE had the highest densities. While structural quality differed slightly across industry segments, there was almost no effect from whether the application was in- or outsourced, or whether it was produced on- or off-shore. Large variations in the densities in critical weaknesses across applications suggested the major factors in structural quality are more related to conditions specific to each application.

Open source is part of almost every software capability we use today. At the very least libraries, frameworks or databases that get used in mission critical IT systems. In some cases entire systems being build on top of open source foundations. Since we have been benchmarking IT software for years, we thought we would set our sights on some of the most commonly used open source software (OSS) projects.
