Good tool for static application security testing

Coverity is a powerful and widely respected SAST tool that can help teams to identify and fix security vulnerabilities in their code more efficiently and effectively.

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

One of the most notable strengths of Coverity is its accuracy in identifying security vulnerabilities in code. It uses advanced static analysis techniques to scan code for a wide range of vulnerabilities, including buffer overflows, memory leaks, and null pointer dereferences.

Cons:

A potential downside of Coverity is that it can generate a large number of false positives, particularly when scanning complex or legacy codebases. This can make it difficult for development teams to prioritize and address the most critical security vulnerabilities, and may lead to frustration or confusion among team members.

Synopsys Coverity Feedback

We were able to rememdiate quite a handful of security issues in the application.

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

We used Coverity as a SAST for our .NET, JAVA and JS. Coverity does have a higher detection rate hence we relied heavily on this tool for identifying the vulnerabilities. We had also integrated this Coverity to our CI/CD Pipeline, this helped us easily manage the deployment as well. It provides a mechanism to audit the findings and mark false positives in an effecient way.

Cons:

Time it takes to scan huge code lines is significantly slower when compared to other tools. Coverity does have a very high number of false positives which at a points gets on the nerves of developers as well as security engineers. There were few vulnerabilities which were not identified by the tool.
