Developer's Frequently Asked Questions (Dev-FAQ)
How do I get my project included in the Scan?
If your project is already listed on rung 0, click the Sign In link beside the project on rung 0 and review the information there.
The first step in getting your project advanced to rung 1 is to select the project's official contacts. Discuss this within the project by irc, mailing-lists, or other intra-project communication methods. Identify the project's official contacts who will represent the project to Coverity.
Have one of the project's contacts follow the instructions within the 'Sign In' page.
If your project is not already listed on rung 0, review the comments about project requirements in the main FAQ, currently there is no Web form for this. Send email to scan-admin@coverity.com
My project is already in the Scan, how do I get an account?
Locate your project on the Full List of the Scan ladder, and click the Log In link. Account requests must be approved by the project's official contacts.
Does the project or do project members have to sign an NDA?
In the current Scan Ladder, signed, paper NDAs are not required at any rung. Signed paper NDAs may be included as part of the process at higher rungs as projects receive access to advanced features.
Project members signing up at rung 1 currently are required to accept a click-through license.
The click-through license is designed to not conflict with employees' obligations to their employers or make any promise on behalf of their employers. We understand the problems that could cause for individuals.
My project has completed the work at the current rung, when can we move up?
The timeframe for moving a project to the next rung depends on availabiliy of Scan's compile and storage resources, as well as any administrative changes required to operate on the next rung.
When new rungs are announced, there may be a delay moving up due to demand.
Ask one of your project contacts to send scan-admin@coverity.com a request to move up.
Additionally, we would appreciate any comments the project has about progress made during the completed rung, so we can fine-tune the stages in the Scan Ladder.
How can our code detect that it is being built under Prevent?
Projects have asked how to detect being built by Scan in order to enable conditional code (i.e. ifdefs). If this is required, you can include a --coverity option on your configure script, and have your project contacts inform us via scan-admin@coverity.com to use it.
