A recent article by Michael Barr mentions how static analysis and peer code reviews can prevent your source code from showing up in court:
"Don't let your firmware source code end up in court! Adopt a coding standard that will prevent bugs and start following it; don't wait a day. Run lint and other static analysis and code complexity tools yourself, rather than waiting for an expert witness to do it for you. Make peer code reviews a regular part of every working day on your team. And establish a testing environment and regimen that allows for regression testing at the unit and system level. These best practices won't ensure perfect quality, but they will show you tried your best."
