An analysis of over one billion lines of code finds the UK ranks last for the security of its code and finds that teams of 10 do better than teams of 20 or more.
The code quality of software has been put under the microscope in new research published today, and the UK fares miserably.
The CRASH report, from software analysts CAST, looked at more than one billion lines of code across 2000 enterprise applications.
