World Leader in Device Software Optimization Rolls Out Coverity Source Code
Analysis Solution Company-Wide to Help Customers Produce Secure Software
Faster
GLOBALCOMM 2006, CHICAGO, June 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Coverity, Inc., makers
of the world's most advanced source code analysis solution, today announced
that their software is being deployed by developers at Wind River (Nasdaq:
WIND) to make the code in their embedded systems more reliable and secure.
After using Coverity Prevent to detect defects in their Eclipse-based
Workbench Development Suite for the past year, Wind River has conducted an
enterprise roll-out to ensure higher code quality in their other products.
Wind River provides device software optimization solutions, including
the popular Workbench development suite and VxWorks and Linux real-time
operating systems. Their platforms are deployed in more than 300 million
devices, ranging from cell phones to the Mars Rover. Wind River technology
is widely used in the automotive, consumer, industrial, networking
equipment and aerospace and defense industries, with customers who include
BMW, Ericsson, Siemens, Nortel and Lockheed Martin.
"We compared and evaluated a number of programming and error detection
tools and Coverity was superior," said Bob Ellis, engineering manager
within Wind River. "Since deploying Coverity Prevent, we've seen a
significant reduction in time spent on code review, which can translate to
a reduction in time-to-market for our customers. Thanks to the time saved,
our investment in Coverity's products will have paid for itself in as
little as one year."
"When developing device software, software quality is paramount. By
using Coverity products to analyze millions of lines of code prior to
formal inspections and unit tests, we save time, money and engineering
bandwidth, allowing us respond effectively to aggressive development
schedules," added Ellis. "The real beauty here is being able to drop a
powerful tool like this, quickly into our development environment, with
minimal or no change to our development process."
"As a global leader in device software optimization with a diverse
product line, Wind River knows the importance of improving QA without
disrupting development schedules," said Seth Hallem, CEO of Coverity.
"Systems built on Wind River products are deployed to the ends of the earth
and beyond, so their code needs to be completely robust under the most
extreme circumstances."
"By achieving Coverity Clean status, Wind River is proving their
commitment to identify software flaws and fix all relevant software
defects," said David Park, VP of business development and marketing for
Coverity and head of the Coverity Clean program. "We have confidence in the
quality and security of Wind River products and the development processes
they use to build, analyze, and test quality software."
