Riddle me this:
While calculating software reliability in number of faults per million line of code, would the software become more reliable if the number of lines are increased instead of errors reduced 🤔

Mathematically, yes.

That's why curly braces on a new line is a reliability feature.

Same with IQ. you get stupider as you grow older.
Using "foobar per lines of code" is a bad estimate technique.
One of the QA managers I worked with set himself a goal - less the 3% of bugs should be found by the users. he then proceded to open a huge number of bugs to tilt the statistic in his favor...

@magicMirror Is it really a bug if it's never found by a user? 😎

If the increased lines of code are tests. Yet again, the tests can also have faults

@Kifflom Yes. Users will avoid some things QA finds. mostly because they will never shake thier phones so much.

@Kifflom "it's not a bug, it's a feature"

It only increases reliability if the number of errors stays the same.
