Coverity Releases Version 2.0 of its Defect Detection Platform

Menlo Park, CA – Coverity, Inc. announced today that version 2.0 of the SWAT platform for the C and C++ programming languages is now available to both existing and new customers. Version 2.0 of the platform includes a full upgrade to the core source code analysis and defect detection technology that allows the SWAT tools to detect up to 3 times the number of bugs detected by the latest 1.x release. In addition, version 2.0 includes full support for both nightly build integration and integration on every developer’s desktop, so that costly software errors can easily be detected and removed before a developer even commits the offending code to the centralized source repository. Version 2.0 is also the first version of SWAT with full support for C++ code and C++ coding constructs, including templates, exceptions, virtual functions, and the Standard Template Library.
