The way to improved expert testimony would be to tie it to professional licensure in a stricter-than-practice way.

Ofc, that wouldn't help for software... because no licensure.

NCEES has brought back the controls systems professional engineering licensure. This is the same license that civil engineers use to stamp designs for example.

Of course, the license doesn’t mean anything if everyone falls under an industrial exemption. I’d be in favor of safety-critical software requiring a PE stamp.

I'm of the opinion that software should have licensure, given the degrading quality of software.

I'd say given the lack of professional consequences for unethical behavior. ;)
