New Plug-in Enables Developers to Identify and Fix Defects Faster While Working Within Eclipse IDE
SAN FRANCISCO, May 7, 2007 –
Coverity, Inc., the leader in automatically improving software quality and security in C/C++ and Java, today announced the general availability of Coverity Prevent Desktop for Eclipse, an extension of Prevent that allows developers to immediately find and fix software defects in source code as it is being written. Unlimited developer seat licenses of the new product are now freely available to Coverity Prevent customers, enabling every developer in an organization to find software defects locally on their workstations as they develop, before checking in their changes.
Coverity Prevent Desktop for Eclipse provides developers a fast analysis of local source code that can be run multiple times throughout the workday. Developers can then check-in their code at the end of the day for project-wide, in-depth analysis during nightly builds. Coverity Prevent scales to tens of millions of lines of code, checking one-hundred percent of the software paths, software dependencies, and key third-party libraries across multiple development groups.
“Our new plug-in for Eclipse supports our mission to improve the quality of the world's software by making it even faster and easier for individual developers to use the most advanced static source code analysis technology available on their desktops,” said Ben Chelf, CTO of Coverity. “And, importantly, we do not believe in financially penalizing development teams by charging “by-the-seat” for our solution. That runs counter to our mission of enabling developers to create the best quality code possible.”
