Webinar: Get Ahead of Software Defects Development Testing with Coverity 5.5

Test Your Software Code, Manage Safety Risks, Control Compliance

Software is a critical component of today's Government and Aerospace and Defense systems. Not only is the size of codebases growing, but the software itself is gaining in complexity. And with code coming from multiple suppliers, it easily may not be tested with the same level or rigor. When missions are dependent on these systems, and people's lives are at stake, it's not surprising that Government organizations have zero tolerance for failures in their most critical systems.

Coverity's development testing platform enables organizations to establish and enforce the highest quality standards for software across their distributed organization and with their sub-contractors. With Coverity solutions, developers can quickly and easily find and fix defects in their workflow, early in the software development life-cycle, reducing the cost, time, and risk of software errors. In addition, Coverity provides managers and executives better visibility to areas of risk in their project across in-house development teams, outsourced development teams, and software provided by third-party suppliers. Teams can easily collect and track the metrics needed for consistent quality improvement and to assess the robustness open source and legacy products.

Prepare for Compliance

Coverity® Integrity Control provides out-of-the-box policy management for Defense Information Systems Agency Security Technical Implementation Guide (DISA STIG) compliance. STIG provides security guidance for use throughout the application development lifecycle. Now software development, design, and testing sites can test their code against the specified policies and ensure that they stay aligned to the DISA STIG guidelines throughout the application development lifecycle. In addition, avionic companies can define testing and verification policies in order to follow RTCA DO-178B processes.

US Federal Law requires more extensive software code assurance testing. Section 932 of the 2011 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) requires the DoD to have an Information Assurance plan that requires:

  • software assurance reviews in all milestone plans
  • the detection of software defects and vulnerabilities through ALL lifecycle stages, from development through sustainment

See how Coverity's solution provides you with visibility into the areas of code that do not adhere to the defined policies, can pin-point the corresponding violations, and show you the specific defects in code responsible for the violations. Plus, at any time you can generate an automated Coverity Integrity Report that contains a snapshot into the state of the software and its compliance to the DISA STIG guidelines to help reduce the time and cost to prepare for regulatory submissions.

Experience that Matters

Coverity works with 24 of the world's largest Government and Aerospace and Defense organizations to meet the highest levels of product safety and quality in a variety of avionics and military systems by identifying the software defects early in the development cycle that can lead to product crashes, security breaches, unexpected behavior, or catastrophic field failure.
