There are various statistics related to the average defect density (i.e. how many defects one can expect to find in a code base); suffice to say, the numbers point to unhip ranges like 20 to 30 bugs for every 1,000 lines of code and even 100–250 defects per thousand lines of code Given this amazingly horrible data, what is one to do about it? There are a few possible answers, including: * Write a lot of tests * Write better code * Write less code
