I have no idea how large the code base is, how complicated the code is, how much they adhere to recognized good coding standards but, It just seems that either 3 months is not enough or they have GREAT programmers/analyst. Hope the latter is true.
“2-3 months”
The importance of the source code audit has previously been raised by a lawmaker.
Bayan Muna Rep. Neri Colmenares said last August that IT experts would need at least 2 to 3 months to conduct a proper source code audit.
CenPEG said in its petition: “In order to sufficiently review a source code of such magnitude, it will take at least three (3) months for a team of programmers working full time.”
With the schedule announced by Comelec however, these groups will finish their review of the source codes on or just before election day.
The CenPeg petition is still pending with the SC.
The Comelec will use 82,200 PCOS machines which will be used for the first time in the country in the 80,000 clustered precincts for the 2010 elections. With reports from Timi Nubla, ABS-CBN News
