Overview

Product Information on Coverity Static Application Security Testing

Updated 3rd June 2022

What is Coverity Static Application Security Testing?

Coverity® is a fast, accurate, and highly scalable static analysis (SAST) solution that helps development and security teams address security and quality defects in source code early in the software development life cycle (SDLC), track and manage risks across the application portfolio, and ensure compliance with security and coding standards, including: OWASP Top 10, CWE Top 25, PCI DSS, MISRA®, CERT C/C++, CERT Java, DISA STIG, ISO 26262, ISO/IEC TS 17961, and AUTOSAR®. Coverity provides a broad set of security and quality checkers for over 20 languages and 70 frameworks, as well as commonly used infrastructure-as-code (IaC) platforms and file formats. Coverity supports both cloud and on-premises deployment. It supports automated scanning with a wide range of continuous integration (CI) and source code management (SCM) platforms. In addition, static analysis can be performed at the developer desktop when Coverity is used on conjunction with the Code Sight IDE plug-in.

“Navigating the Limited Market of Firmware Support Tools”

3.0
May 29, 2024
There are only 3 products in the market that support firmware code and this is one of them. I rated it average because it's not truly exceptional or outstanding. This product is similar to other tools. I'm not feeling very generous so 3 stars is still a thumbs-up.

Performance of Coverity Static Application Security Testing Across Market Features

Coverity Static Application Security Testing Likes & Dislikes

Like

automation, integration capabilities and compatibility.

Like

Support is good.

Like

The initial set of security rules. When we demonstrate our security capabilities and exercise, especially for customers in specific industries like auto and health, we say weve used Coverity to check if the source code meets MISRA or HIPAA, customers know our effort very quickly, and theres no more negotiation cost. That is what a great product needs, which helps the whole industry to reach an agreement very soon.

Dislike

Scanning time is sometimes too slow.

Dislike

UI and False positives. Vendor offers triaging service for extra cost.

Dislike

The user interface, Coverity's UI is not easy to understand, and the users need some time to get to know this platform. It shall ref the popular consumer products, release a modern version to make the tool easy to use, and up to date. Currently the UX does not match the high reputation it grants.

    Coverity Simplifies Code Security for Industry Standards but UI Presents Challenges

    5.0
    Jun 26, 2025
    As a well-known source code quality and security detector, Coverity supports individual standards and customized rules. The product supports rapid analysis of source code submissions, which helps the engineer a lot. Coverity's reputation is extremely outstanding, as customers know we pick Coverity as SAST solution, the doubts sharpens down and trust grows up. It also complements with Black Duck, to provide a detailed analysis for end-to-end security detection.

    Could provide more help in terms of risk management and development mitigations.

    2.0
    Dec 11, 2023
    These are the main drawbacks I've seen: 1) The web interface does not allow you to change the default security risk level associated with the vulnerability. It's quite annoying having to write the modified risk level in the description because then you cannot search for them later. 2) It lacks of a proposed solution. I think it needs to provide at least a generic solution or a curated list of references according to the programming language in which the vulnerability was found. 3) It would nice if they improve their search filters. There are a lot of filters/conditions for searching and would be helpful if you could save previously used search filters.
