Open source technology is a reliable basis for system-level software, and open source tools are finding their way into corporate projects. Open source has important potential advantages when compared to traditional vendor-proprietary software models. Proponents of open-source software have long claimed that their code is of higher quality than the equivalent commercial software. With the increased pressure to deliver new applications quickly at lower costs, open source can revolutionize and invigorate software development.
Discuss the advantages and benefits and disadvantages of open source software for developers and users. Present any research findings that attempt to compare the quality of commercial proprietary code with open-source code. These comparisons should consider implementations of the same functionality.
