Coverity Named to 2013 SD Times 100

SAN FRANCISCO, June 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Coverity, Inc., the leader in development testing, today announced that it has been named to the 2013 SD Times 100, in recognition of its innovation and leadership in the field of Quality Assurance (QA) and Security.

The SD Times 100 recognizes companies, non-commercial organizations and other influencers for their innovation and leadership within certain industry categories. The SD Times 100 includes companies, organizations and individuals that most broadly "set the agenda" for software development managers, developers and the software development industry during the past calendar year.

"The software development industry has always been competitive, but never more so given the innovation we're seeing in so many spaces, including mobile, cloud, SaaS, DevOps/ALM, developer tools, quality assurance and Big Data," said Alan Zeichick, Co-Founder and Editorial Director for BZ Media's SD Times. "That makes it incredibly hard to pick the 'best in show' — but that's what we did when choosing this year's 2013 SD Times 100. The editors carefully considered each nominee's products and services, thought leadership and reputation. Thanks to companies like Coverity, the future for software development is very bright!"

The platform, which is built on the award-winning Coverity SAVE^® static analysis verification engine, enables organizations to automatically test source code for software defects that could lead to product crashes, unexpected behavior, security breaches or catastrophic system failures.

"It's an honor to be named to this prestigious list," said Jennifer Johnson, CMO for Coverity. "We are seeing software development evolve, as a growing number of companies rethink their legacy approaches to software testing to meet increasing business demands for rapid, secure and high-quality software delivery. This transformative approach is driving the rapid adoption of development testing, which is now considered an industry best practice for companies that develop software-based products and services."
