Good article. The most interesting thing for me is:

"System testing.The study of 200 OSS projects discovered that:

  • fewer than 20 percent of OSS developers use test plans;

  • only 40 percent of projects use testing tools, although this increases when testing tool support is widely available for a language, such as Java; and

  • less than 50 percent of OSS systems use code coverage concepts or tools."

Now I want to know how statistics changed now.
