 Open-source software is based on the idea that the user cannot only view but also can change the source code of the existing application. Closed-source software is hidden to prevent the user either viewing or changing the code.

 After initial production, open source software is released to the development community and undergoes a secondary phase of evolution. It is scrutinized by thousands of professional developers across the globe who highlight bugs and security glitches in the software. Closed source software is developed in isolation with a small team of developers. It isn't possible to build a team of hundreds to check the code because the code is deemed proprietary and secret.
