Quality Control in an automated fashion. While it does extend in to other areas, you can scope it to software engineering by having some sort of static analyser, sandbox with dynamic analyser and fuzzer in-a-box, that can you call at various stages. While it doesn't cover future found issues like the ones in the x86 ISA, it could prevent a lot of corner-cutting-by-managment and fix-it-in-prod mentality.
Once you get to a point where you can demonstrate that 'doing it faster' is not an option, everyone gets better for it.
Right now, all you get is bypassable CI pipelines, crappy in-IDE tools that sometimes work, and very costly static analysers that usually don't work and are more designed to please the clipboard warriors.
