Human error research on overconfidence supports the benefits of early visibility of defects and disciplined development. If risk to the enterprise is to be reduced, individuals need to become aware of the reality of the quality of their work. Several cycles of inspection and defect removal are inevitable. Software Quality Management measurements of defect density and removal efficiency are applicable. Research of actual spreadsheet error rates shows data consistent with other software depending on the extent to which the work product was reviewed before inspection. The paper argues that the payback for an investment in early review time is justified by the saving in project delay and expensive errors in use. 'If debugging is the process of removing bugs, then programming must be the process of putting them in' - Anon.
