Coverity™ Named to 2008 SD Times 100

Pioneer in Software Quality and Security Recognized For Innovation and Industry Leadership

SAN FRANCISCO – June 16, 2008 – Coverity™, Inc., the leader in improving software quality and security, today announced that it has been named to the 2008 SD Times 100, in recognition of its leadership in the field of Test and Quality Assurance (QA).

The SD Times 100 recognizes companies, non-commercial organizations and other influencers for their innovation and leadership within certain industry categories. The SD Times 100 includes companies, organizations and individuals that most broadly "set the agenda" for software development managers, developers, and the software development industry during the past calendar year.

“When choosing the SD Times 100, we carefully considered each company’s offerings and reputation,” said Alan Zeichick, editorial director, SD Times. “We also listened for the ‘buzz’—how much attention and conversation we’ve heard around the company and its products and technologies—as a sign of leadership within the industry.”

Coverity provides advanced source code analysis technology that removes the barriers to writing and delivering complex software by automatically finding and helping to eliminate critical software defects and security vulnerabilities early in the software development process. Recent innovations in Prevent include the first use of Boolean satisfiability (SAT) in static analysis and the first race condition defect detection in static analysis. Development teams across the globe at more than 450 customer sites rely on Coverity products to ensure the performance and security of their most critical applications.

“We thank the SD Times staff for their recognition of Coverity and our continued work to build innovative tools that are fundamentally improving how software is made,” said Seth Hallem, CEO at Coverity.

In addition to SD Times 100 distinction, in the last year Coverity was also recognized as a Rising Star in Deloitte’s Technology Fast 50 program, a top private 100 company by AlwaysOn, and recently won SIIA’s CODiE award for Best Software Testing Solution.
