The most valuable feature of Coverity is its software security feature called the Checker. If you share some vulnerability or weakness then the software can find any potential security bug or defect. The code integration tool enables some secure coding standards and implements some Checkers for Live Duo. So we can enable secure coding and Azure in this tool. So in our software, we can make sure our software combines some industry supervised data.
The scan of the repository has been most effective in identifying critical vulnerabilities. The product provided visibility over security-related issues like hard coding and values getting exposed in a log. It helped us resolve difficult issues. With CI/CD integration, we could scan the incremental commits done by different developers. We were able to report them, and the developers were able to fix them.
The product identifies the issues and has an informative dashboard that gives us strains of incremental issues and resolutions. It also keeps track of whether the reported issues were fixed and what the resolution was. Sometimes, we find duplicate issues. Those were very well managed from the dashboard. Our primary requirement was for compliance, and it was good. The reports were significant and looked very professional.

The most valuable feature of Coverity is the wrapper. We use the wrapper to build the C++ component, then we use the other code analysis to analyze the code to the build object, and then send back the result to the SonarQube server. Additionally, it is a powerful capabilities solution.

One of the most valuable features is Contributing Events. That particular feature helps the developer understand the root cause of a defect. So you can locate the starting point of the defect and figure out exactly how it is being exploited. So contributing Events lets you create that kind of a workflow.
We also need a tool that works in an environment that isn't dependent on the built environment. You point it to a folder. Then the tool picks it up, runs the scan, and gives you the report. That feature is available in Coverity. So you don't have to rely upon build artifacts or developer artifacts. So these are the two key features we use daily, and we've gotten good results.
