I like the sentiment, but there are big differences. In software, you can poke/prod away at the running application to get it to do something it shouldn't. To me, this is a bit like yanking wires that you know are important to see what happens to plane in mid flight. Another anecdote I use is to image pulling the steering wheel off a car while someone's driving it. I think modern software testing and security analysis is probably far away better than what the ntsb provides because we've already systems in place to cope with crashes.
