Attributes 225% Revenue Growth to Increased Business Demand for Development Testing
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Coverity, the development testing leader, today announced it ranked No. 339 on Deloitte's Technology Fast 500™, a ranking of the 500 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and clean technology companies in North America. Coverity grew 225 percent during this period.
Coverity's Chief Executive Officer, Anthony Bettencourt, credits the business criticality of delivering high quality and secure software as a driver of competitive advantage with the company's 225% revenue growth. He said, "Software quality and security issues are directly linked to business outcomes. Companies are no longer willing to turn a blind eye to the impact that a software failure or a security breach can have on their brands and bottom lines, and legacy testing methods no longer suffice given increasing software complexity and time to market pressures. Development testing with Coverity has become the operational standard for the world's leading companies that develop software-based products and services to proactively address both quality and security issues within a single platform. We are honored to be recognized by Deloitte for the 6th consecutive year for our growth and look forward to continuing this momentum in 2013."
"We are proud to honor the 2012 Technology Fast 500™ companies, and commend them for their outstanding growth," said Eric Openshaw, vice chairman, Deloitte LLP and U.S. technology, media and telecommunications (TMT) leader. "These ground-breaking companies have outpaced their competition and are reinventing the way we do business today."
