ACCELERATING OPEN SOURCE QUALITY

In collaboration with Stanford University, Coverity is establishing a new baseline for software quality and security in open source. Under a contract with the Department of Homeland Security, we apply the latest innovations in automated defect detection to uncover some of the most critical types of bugs found in software.
     
       TOTAL NUMBER OF DEFECTS FIXED (SINCE 03/06/2006):  
  11,303  
    

Aug 6th, 2010: David Maxwell will be presenting twice at FOSSLC Summercamp 2010 on August 14th.

Coverity open source strategist David Maxwell present on Coverity findings in open source code, and talk about The NetBSD Project. To find out more information about the August 31st event, visit www.fosslc.org.

 

Fall 2010: This autumn changes are coming to the Coverity Scan effort. The Scan ladder will be revamped, projects will be receiving enhanced analysis results, and additional information will be made available to the public. More announcements will be added here as they are released.
