Company spokesmen say that shortcomings asscociated with flight test processes have already been addressed. One piece of the solution has been the establishment of a flight test safety review board. This would typically be composed of knowledgeable experts who are not directly involved in the project under review. Similar boards are used in military and NASA flight test programs to make sure that the teams aren't falling prey to the Project manager version of "Get-there-itis". Done properly, this alone should help immensely.
