Be careful about the statistics that are quouted. It may be the case that if they are from code complete that the code that was reviewed was C or C++. In my experience formal code inspection does catch a fair number of bugs in C or C++ especially where the developer is not that experienced. In my experience this is much less the case with other languages.



It may be even worse than that... one study was using FORTRAN.
