Coverity Fact Sheet

Business Overview:

Coverity provides the most advanced and scalable static source code analysis solution for accurately identifying software defects and security vulnerabilities. Coverity helps companies build better products, decrease time–to–market, reduce risk, and increase customer satisfaction.

Key Differentiation:

Coverity takes a new approach to source code analysis. Coverity's innovations in meta-compilation enable accurate results across large code bases in a fraction of the time required by other source code analysis tools. Coverity is the first system to identify defects with a combination of precision, speed, and accuracy that can effectively deal with the size and complexity of today’s
code. In addition, Coverity addresses many of the key problems that have traditionally hampered source code analysis: build integration, compiler compatibility, high rate of false positives, and effective root-cause analysis.

Product Offering:

Coverity offers two products, each designed to help customers deliver the most reliable and secure software possible:

Coverity Prevent
an out-of-the-box solution that includes an extensive library of analytical tools to quickly and effectively pinpoint even the most difficult–to–detect defects and security vulnerabilities.

Coverity Extend™
an add-on to Coverity Prevent that enables developers to create and run custom checks to target specific defects and enforce business– or industry-specific compliance standards and requirements.
