Resolve C/C++ Defects

Finding bugs is good; fixing them is better. Coverity understands that the ultimate goal of source code analysis is faster, more efficient defect resolution, and Prevent equips you with all the products needed to fix memory leaks, memory errors, cross-site scripting attacks, SQL injection attacks, and other source code defects quickly.

Defects are automatically distributed to the developers and teams that can fix them.

• The workflow manager lets you subdivide code into logical groups and assign owners to each group.
• Owners are automatically assigned defects and sent email notification whenever they are reported.

The Defect Manager interface helps developers resolve defects easily.

• The full path to each defect is clearly displayed in the source code to quickly track the error’s root cause.
• Each defect’s critical attributes are in-lined directly in the source code so developers can easily understand the logic used by the analysis engine to detect the error.
• Source code is fully cross-referenced and hyperlinked – from uses to definitions, and vice versa – to help developers triage difficult cross-functional bugs much faster.
• Comparisons of different analysis runs across time help clarify, run by run, what defects have appeared in the code base, what has disappeared, and what still remains.
• Build custom bug-fixing processes tailored specifically for the particular defects reported.

Actionable bug reports give teams the information needed to ensure ongoing code quality.

• Set up custom workflow stages from detection to resolution, then report on your progress via the analytics engine.
• Prebuilt reports let you subdivide results by component, owner, or defect type to better understand what defects are in your code base and where they occur.
• Defect trend data shows the rates at which defects are introduced and fixed.
