There was at one time an excellent write up about the way software 
development was done at NASA.  I'm pretty sure the link was posted here 
on comp.os.vms but I have long since lost the reference, and Google 
didn't help the last time I looked.  There's also the possibility that 
the article is no longer on line, and that would be a shame.
