Coverity(TM) Prevent(TM) Wins SIIA CODiE Award for Best Software Testing Solution

Leader in Improving Software Quality and Security Honored For Technological
                     Innovation and Product Excellence

    SAN FRANCISCO, June 2 /PRNewswire/ -- Coverity(TM), Inc., the leader in
improving software quality and security, today announced that it has won
the SIIA 2008 CODiE Award for "Best Software Testing Solution." Coverity's
flagship product, Coverity Prevent(TM), is the leading static source code
analysis solution that enables the automatic detection and resolution of
code defects for software written in C, C++ and Java.

    Coverity provides advanced source code analysis technology that removes
the barriers to writing and delivering complex software by automatically
finding and helping to eliminate critical software defects and security
vulnerabilities early in the software development process. Recent
innovations in Prevent include the first use of Boolean satisfiability
(SAT) in static analysis and the first race condition defect detection in
static analysis.

    Prevent is based on Coverity's patent pending Software DNA Map(TM)
analysis system, which provides a high fidelity representation of any
software system to allow for extremely accurate analysis of a given
application.

    "With the growing complexity of software, static code analysis is now a
critical capability for companies that need to bring new applications to
market on time and on budget," said Seth Hallem, CEO of Coverity. "Coverity
is passionate about improving the way software is built and we continually
strive to deliver the latest in advanced technology to help our customers
improve the overall integrity of the code they write."

    Coverity Prevent was selected as a winner after three rounds of judging
by a panel of technology writers, analysts, and industry experts. "The 2008
CODiE Awards recognize those companies providing the best new technology
products and services across a broad array of industries," noted SIIA
