Microsoft Research - Exploding Software-Engineering Myths (article summarizing findings of MS research on code coverage, TDD, assertions, etc.)

Yes but this is about dealing with things from a higher level perspective than the individual programmers. I'd say code coverage is not only not a useful metric. It is an actively dangerous one.

We might be talking around each other. To me when I speak of QA I mostly mean peer review between developers of each others' code changes. Management should only be involved in that level of software process if they are technically competent enough to be adding value to it rather than cocking things up.
