About Us

Coverity creates tools for developers to help ensure the integrity of their software. Founded by developers with the goal of fundamentally improving the way software is produced, Coverity provides automated source code analysis tools that help eliminate quality defects and security vulnerabilities early in the software development life cycle to help companies deliver the most reliable and secure software possible.

Hardware design has always been considered a difficult task, requiring significant investments in automation and verification. But the idea that building software is equally difficult is still gaining credibility. Coverity addresses this challenge by providing automated tools that enable software developers to quickly, thoroughly, and accurately analyze their source code early in the development process.

These tools enable software developers to pinpoint defects that could cause catastrophic failures or security breaches. Coverity Prevent™, Coverity Thread Analyzer, Structure 101™, Coverity Extend™, and Coverity Software Readiness Manager help software companies build better products, decrease time-to-market, and decrease risks.

A Breakthrough in Technology

The foundational technology for Coverity’s expanding platform of development tools was developed in the Computer Systems Laboratory at Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, from 1998 through 2002. In November 2003, the Stanford research team released the first system capable of detecting thousands of critical defects in open source projects such as Linux and FreeBSD. Soon afterward, industry and research experts quickly recognized the Stanford system (then known as the “MC Checker”) as the most effective source code analysis system ever built.

Shifting focus from research to industry, Stanford team members Andy Chou, Benjamin Chelf, Dawson Engler, and Seth Hallem went on to apply this technology to develop the Coverity products for commercial use. Coverity continues to evolve these source code analysis systems with the goal of providing customers with increasingly accurate and ever-greater code analysis capabilities.
