Coverity Static Reviews

We did a comprehensive evaluation on a number of critical parameters in the environment that we are in. Other popular tools that we evaluated failed to meet our expectations.

• Ease of development teams to adopt.
• Faster scanning
• Lowest false positives
• No unnecessary bloating of a huge defect list.

These have helped us to focus on the things which need attention.

• Lowest false positive rate
  
• Faster scanning time
• Inline context-sensitive help and other supportive artifacts which help developers.
• Customizable triage options
• Integrations with CI/CD tools, etc.

• Reporting engine needs to be more robust.
• Custom reporting is a must have.
• Perhaps, the availability of connectors to popular open source BI tools, such as BIRT, JasperReports, or Pentaho may add value.

We are working on medical devices, and the code base is written in C++. We use Coverity to find the vulnerability in those C++ codes.

Coverity is easy to set up and has a less lengthy process to find vulnerabilities.

The solution's user interface and quality gate could be improved.

I have been using Coverity for four months.

Coverity has good stability.

I rate Coverity more than eight out of ten for stability.

Around 20 to 25 developers use Coverity in our organization.

I rate Coverity a seven to eight out of ten for scalability.

We use SonarQube for Java-based projects and Coverity for C and C++-based projects.

The solution’s initial setup is simple.

Overall, I rate Coverity a seven out of ten.

I like Coverity's capability to scan codes once we push it. We don't need more time to review our colleagues' codes. Its UI is pretty straightforward. 

The product should include more customization options. The analytics is not as deep as compared to SonarQube. 

I have been using the product for one month. 

I would rate Coverity's stability a ten out of ten. 

I would rate the product's scalability an eight out of ten. My company has three users for the tool. 

I would rate the tool's setup a seven out of ten. The deployment gets completed in a couple of minutes. 

I would rate the tool's pricing a one out of ten. 

Coverity's documentation is pretty straightforward and I would rate it a seven out of ten. The solution is cheap and provides us with a dedicated server.
