Decrease costs

We live in a world where the integrity of your software IS the competitive integrity of your business. Yet, according to industry analysts, the last four years have shown a 56% average increase in unplanned downtime on mission-critical applications. To remain competitive and ensure software meets the expectations of customers, partners, and shareholders, businesses need a new approach to software—high integrity software. Coverity provides this new approach with precision software analysis. By relying on Coverity early in the development lifecycle, customers are realizing significant reductions in software failure rates while accelerating time-to-market of new or updated applications.

Each time a software problem is detected in the field, the impact of post-sales support, root cause diagnosis, and patch development on the company bottom line is significant. In fact, industry analysts estimate that a defect detected in deployment is a minimum of 100 times more costly than a defect detected in development. Using Coverity, you can lower development costs up to 32% by avoiding the downstream costs of software failures in testing and in deployment. To date, Coverity customers have detected and eliminated more than one million potential software problems, resulting in an estimated $250 million annual savings. We invite you to join over 600 of the World’s most successful software companies who invest in Coverity to deliver high integrity software.

Reduce Risk

In today’s competitive market, application security vulnerabilities in the field pose a greater threat to the success of your business than ever before. Leading companies are now recognizing that traditional approaches to application quality and security fail to insulate their business from potentially devastating software failures. According to the Identity Theft Resource Center software security breaches have increased over 300% in the last two years and security experts expect this trend to continue.

Companies with a zero tolerance policy for software problems are partnering with Coverity to reduce risk. By analyzing their software for potential failure modes and vulnerabilities that cannot be detected with existing best-of-breed software testing techniques, these organizations are decreasing the risk of brand-damaging product recalls and software vulnerabilities. Coverity customers have eliminated up to 30% of these software flaws early in the development cycle. Coverity’s software analysis solution helps companies reduce the risk of failure, increase customer satisfaction, and eliminate brand-damaging software failures.

Accelerate Time-to-Market

Having an efficient software organization can be a critical competitive advantage. Companies must deliver innovative products to market faster without compromising software integrity. And yet, industry analysts report that only 47 of 220 work days are actually spent on developing planned features of new applications. In fact, more than 30% of developer time is spent on testing and bug repairs.

By eliminating defects early in the development cycle, controlling software architecture, and managing software complexity, Coverity customers are able to devote more time to innovation and feature development in the software development lifecycle. These organizations have traded time spent on debugging, rework, and maintenance for time spent building value for customers and their business—becoming more efficient and more competitive in the process.

Coverity customers have reported an average of 20% overall reduction in time spent on existing software development activities after deploying Coverity. And as a result, they have added 44 days of innovation and feature development to every single developer’s schedule.

Ensure Compliance

All companies follow a set of standards—best practice standards, industry standards, or government standards—to ensure software compatibility, interchangeability, security, and safety. To comply with these standards, companies must create, document, and enforce them in their software. Failure to do so can lead to software vulnerabilities, poor field performance, as well as sanctions and shipping delays caused by industry or government auditors.

Companies trust Coverity to help them automate compliance with standards such as MISRA, DO-178B, PCI, Sarbanes-Oxley and more. Coverity also helps many medical device companies comply with FDA’s software verification and validation guidelines so they can better ensure the delivery of high-integrity, safety-critical software products. For companies that must adhere to strict documentation guidelines, Coverity can also automate code documentation by reverse engineering existing code architectures.
