plat_forms 2007 results
The results of the plat_forms contest are finally published! PHP was the best platform in terms of completeness, maintainablity and security. Also, the differences between the PHP teams were small compared to Perl and Java – that means, our **Team 8** was quite good, even if OXID (Team 6) is the winning team for PHP: Congratulations
I’d like to mention that we had almost no defects in our solution:
Here’s a quote from page 47:
“Team8 PHP has excellent correctness with just one single mistake in the search usecase, only one fourth as many defects as the runner-up. Team4 Java’s defect weight is also quite small (but should be viewed relative to the lower amount of functionality implemented) and team2 Perl is best on the Perl platform (because team5 Perl’s problems more often concern MUST requirements).”
