Aviation and medical practice involve lives, unlike (most of the time) software development. Same happens with the speed at which it happens — aviation, as medicine, is a "slow and steady" evolution towards improvement, while software development is ever-changing.
Yes, it would be great to have a better way to identify and tackle common mistakes in software development, but it is not nearly as crucial and universal in software development as it may be in other fields. And, after all, each tool/language is so different that few common denominators exist. In a way, it isn't really an issue — yet people dying from malpractice or negligence (either in aviation, or medicine), is.
