Coverity, Inc., the leader in improving software quality and security automatically, today announced it has been named a Rising Star in Deloitte & Touche USA LLP´s Technology Fast 50 program for Silicon Valley.
A special designation for fast-growth companies, the Rising Star award recognizes high-growth companies that have been in business a minimum of three years, but less than five.
With a growth rate of 537 percent over this period, Coverity was ranked the thirteenth fastest growing company in the Silicon Valley.
"Coverity is proud to be recognized for our significant and consistent growth by Deliotte´s veteran leadership team," said Seth Hallem, CEO of Coverity. "We also thank our fast growing group of over 300 customers for their important role in helping us attain this recognition. We look forward to continued success by developing technology that helps our customers manage the complexity of producing software in today´s highly competitive markets."
To qualify for the Technology Fast 50 Rising Star program, companies must have operating revenues of at least USD 50,000 in 2004 and USD 5 million in 2006.

Coverity announced the first software analysis engine based on Boolean satisfiability (SAT). Coverity's SAT engine leverages a highly accurate representation of software, or Software DNA Map, to automatically identify complex defects in source code with unmatched precision and accuracy. By helping software development teams find and eliminate these potentially costly defects, Coverity Prevent SQS accelerate the ability of companies to deliver secure, high quality applications.
Available today, Coverity's False Path Pruning Solver is the first Solver to be released for Prevent SQS. Coverity plans to release two additional Solvers in early 2008 that allow customers to check code assertions statically and to detect critical bug categories including integer overflows.
After testing on over 2 million lines of code from multiple applications of open source software from Coverity's Scan project, the False Path Pruning Solver was found to reduce false positive results by an average of 30 percent.

Verifysoft found a serious bug in Mono C# compiler during the development of "CTC++ for Java and C#" (Code Coverage for C# and Java).
The binaries compiled with the yet unfixed compiler are rendered untrusted, at least must be then recompiled with a future fixed version. The bug is confirmed by Novell:

A new version (4.2) of Testwell CMT++ Code Complexity Measures Tool for C/C++ is available.
CMT++ 4.2 comes with new features, i.e.:
- The format of the long report is changed to XML. The report form has been extended to contain "all" information that CMT++ in general analyses from the source files (system-level summary, alarms, etc.). This new XML form is now meant to be the primary means in CMT++ integrations to tool chains.
- From a class/struct declaration inline methods are now reported. The declaration itself is no more reported as its own entity. It is considered to be like any other header code (like a function prototype), which is counted to file-level measures.
- Better handling of conditional compilations when unbalanced {}s. No more "unexpected end of file" messages in normal use cases.
- Many improvements in the HTML report (cmt2html utility)
- CMT++ GUI improved (Windows)
- Visual Studio 2005 IDE integration introduced (Windows)

Verifysoft Technology announced today the availability of "CTC++ for Java and C#", an add-on for Testwell CTC++ Test Coverage Analyzer for C and C++.
The add-on extends the Code Coverage capabilities of CTC++ from C and C++ to Java and C#.
The tool analyses for all coverage levels as required in "critical" software projects: Function-Coverage, Decision-, Statement-, Condition-, Multi-Condition- (MCC), and Modified Condition / Decision Coverage (MC/DC).
Testwell CTC++ and "CTC++ for Java and C#" help to obtain certifications, i.e. DO178-B.

A new version of Conformiq Qtronic™, the leading model driven testing solution, has been released.
Here what´s new in Conformiq Qtronic™ 1.1 :
- Communication between internal threads in the model can now be observed in scripters and loggers.
- Array allocation semantics in QML has been changed.
- Added a scripter that renders scripts as MSC formatted HTML pages.
- Added Java plugin API allowing the user to implement plugins also in Java in a very similar fashion as plugins are implemented in C++.

A new version of Testwell CTC++ for Symbian Target Devices add-on package (CTC4STD) has been released.
With the new version the instrumented file can now be also a C file (compiled as C code). Previously, the instrumented code could be compiled as C++ code only.
(10 July 2007)
Testwell announced the release of CTC++ Test Coverage Analyzer version 6.4.
The new version introduces the ´ctcwrap´ capability also on Windows platform. It facilitates extremely simple way to do "ctc-builds" with existing makefiles and other build arrangements.
The IDE integrations to Visual Studio .NET 2003 and to Visual Studio 2005 are renewed, making the usage simpler and more powerful.
There is also a "power-user capability" intruduced to aggregate coverage data in a controlled way of separate/independent "ctc-builds" and their test sessions.
Our maintenance customers will receive the version without supplementary fees.

Two Nokia Research Center researchers published a paper on the use of Conformiq Qtronic™. The paper appears in the collection of peer reviewed papers for TESTCOM/FATES 2007, a leading conference on mathematics and formal methods based testing.
This year the joint conference was held in Tallinn, Estonia. Antti Huima from Conformiq Software gave his invited talk on the implementation architecture of Conformiq Qtronic™, the world´s leading model driven testing tool.
In their paper the researchers report on the use of Conformiq Qtronic™ for testing a "device level service", and mention that "bugs were found and the mentioned paraller errors were such that... there were no explicit requirements that would have to led test cases uncovering the errors".
The conference proceedings are available as LNCS 4581 from Springer.

Testwell announced the release of version 3.2 of the Host-Target add-on for the leading code Coverage Tool Testwell CTC++.
The new version contains further optimizations at the target run-time behavior. Also model implementations for the low-level data transfer routines have been introduced.
The CTC++ Host-Target add-on allows the analysis of code coverage in any embedded targets.
Our maintenance customers will receive the add-on free of charge.

Verifysoft Technology proudly announce an CTC++ Addon package, that let users of the FreeBSD operating system / Intel seamlessly use the Testwell CTC++ code coverage tool on that platform.
The delivered executables are running transparently in Linux ABI mode, the library (and subsequently the instrumented applications) are native FreeBSD executables...
Also the code complexity measures tools Testwell CMT++ and Testwell CMTJava are working "out of the box" with the FreeBSD operating system.
Until now all Testwell tools have already been available for Windows, Linux, HP-UX and Solaris platforms.

The CTC++ for Symbian Target Devices add-on v3.1 package has been upgraded to work on Symbian OS v9.x (EKA2 kernel) based devices. Target support for the previous Symbian OS level upto v8 (EKA1 kernel) has been discontinued. Support for the EPOC emulator (Symbian OS before and after v9) use in the CTC++/Windows version continues unchanged.
