Coverity Static Application Security Testing

Coverity is a static application security testing (SAST) tool that scans source code to identify security vulnerabilities, quality issues, and compliance problems before software reaches production. It works by analysing code patterns and flagging potential weaknesses such as buffer overflows, SQL injection, and unsafe cryptography practices. The tool automates the detection and reporting process, which helps development teams fix issues earlier in the development cycle when they're cheaper to resolve. Coverity is designed for development teams and security-focused organisations that need to maintain code quality standards while reducing the cost and effort of manual security reviews.
