If you've ever studied software engineering as a process you'll know about things like unit testing, regression testing, etc. That was before "testing tools". How can space shuttle s/w engineers produce code of such a high quality yet nobody else? Answer: their processes ensure it happens. They don't need ISS or whatever.It's not all that simple even with NASA though, remember the troubles with the hubbles mirrors, and the peoblems with programing errors on various probes to the sun and mars...
I'm willing to bet if people's lives were on the line, it'd be different. Of course there are still engineering, management and general internal communication problems to overcome, not to mention deadlines... hence the explosion of Challenger...
