[2] The Poisson process can be used to measure the rates at which different people find security flaws between open and closed source software.
An example of such as system is as follows:[6] Coverity in collaboration with Stanford University has established a new baseline for open-source quality and security.
They are utilizing innovations in automated defect detection to identify critical types of bugs found in software.
The project has been analyzed by Coverity's Scan infrastructure, but no representatives from the open-source software have come forward for the results.
These projects include: AMANDA, ntp, OpenPAM, OpenVPN, Overdose, Perl, PHP, Postfix, Python, Samba, and tcl.
