There is one natural environment for such tests: programming
competition. For example at topcoder (www.topcoder.com) you can see some
statistics (average coding time, best coding time, correct programs
percentage etc.) for several languages used in these competitions.
Unfortunately, the languages are only C++, C#, java and Visual Basic.

At TopCoder there is a "challenge phase", when you can look into other
contestants' programs, look for bugs, and prepare a test case to prove
the program is incorrect.
There is also a "system test phase" to catch the bugs not found by
contestants.
