We use the solution to perform security scans on our application. We worked on a healthcare product. We wanted to submit it for FDA approval. It was mandatory to validate security issues, static code analysis, and dynamic code analysis. We evaluated multiple tools and shortlisted Coverity. I worked with the Synopsys team for integration and initial setup to allow the tool to scan our application implementation and identify static and dynamic code issues.

We primarily use the solution for quality purposes. We also use it for security. That's one subset of quality. However, it's used for more dynamic behavior, such as memory leaks, et cetera.

Senior Solutions Architect at a computer software company with 11-50 employees

We write thousands of lines of code on a daily basis, and we cannot say that our code is free because there are a lot of other developers contributing to the source code and things like that. And this process is prone to human error, defects in the source code, etc.

SH
Security Consultant at a tech services company with 11-50 employees

I am a consultant and I work to bring solutions to different companies. Static code analysis is one of the things that I assist people with, and Coverity is one of the tools that I use for doing that.

I worked with Coverity when doing a couple of different PoCs. For these, I get a few different teams of developers together and we want to decide what makes the most sense for each team as far as scanning technologies. So, part of that is what languages are supported, part of that is how extensible it is, and part of that extensibility is do the developers have time to actually create custom roles?

We also want to know things like what the professional are services like, and do people typically need many hours of professional services to get the system spun up. Other factors include whether it deployed on-premises or in the cloud, and also, which of those environments it can operate with.

One of the things is there's not really a shining star out of all of these tools. SaaS tools have been getting more mature in the past decade, particularly in how fast they run, but also in the results they get. Of course, framework and language additions that increase the capability with results are considered.
