Look in the aerospace industry, things may be better there.

  That's also exactly what I don't want. It's more paperwork than code in such places all full of rigorous validation.

    How do you expect a company to keep to their code to the highest standard without continuously and rigorously validating that the code is actually up to standard?

      mlindner didn't ask for "the highest standards", though - just for "not trash". You do have to ask whether the code does what it's supposed to do. What is your objective evidence that it does so? You need that. But you don't need aerospace standards unless you're critical infrastructure. If you're writing a web app? Not so much. You'd still like to be able to not throw up when you look at the code, though.

        It sounds like you are asking rhetorical questions
