NIST Estimates Sloppy Coding Costs $60 Billion/Year

Posted by timothy on from the numerical-imperative dept.

An anonymous reader submits: "Computerworld is reporting on a government study just released that software bugs are costing the U.S. economy an estimated $59.5 billion each year, with more than half of the cost borne by end users and the remainder by developers and vendors. Better testing could allegedly cut that by one-third."

    ...and in other news, you're a tard. Did the headline say "sloppy code == bad"?

    This is an article about the impact of bad code, not bad code itself.
