Avionics Software (# Lines of Code) grows by ~400% every 2 years – COTS Journal
Correcting deployed code costs ~900 times more than corrections done at an early stage (design time) – COTS Journal
The size with respect to source lines of code (SLOC) has doubled every four years since the mid-1990s - Software Engineering Institute, Carnegie Mellon
