An extension to Coverity Prevent allows developers to immediately find and fix software defects in source code as it is being written.
"After an extensive evaluation of a variety of available static analysis tools, we determined that Coverity would provide the highest return on investment due to their leading-edge technology that combines the most sophisticated analysis with the easiest configurability", said Robert Hoffman, Head of NGTA Platform Software Development for Siemens Networks.
"Coverity pinpoints critical defects in a way that ensures our developers can quickly understand the problem and repair the defect effectively".
"Coverity's low false positive rate was another major factor in our selection criteria as we did not want to introduce a tool that would frustrate our distributed multinational development teams who need to collaborate on such a large project".
Key benefits for Siemens Networks include: reduction in time finding and fixing software defects; reduction in number of software patches distributed each year; and accelerated delivery of a sophisticated telecommunications software platform.
Siemens Networks deployed Coverity Prevent into its existing development environment for the NGTA platform easily with only minimal configuration required.
The quick deployment led to an immediate improvement in productivity and product quality.
Hoffman added: "Use of Coverity's technology within Siemens Networks enhances our ability to deliver robust systems".
