Software spots C++ faults

Coverity Prevent SQS is a static source code analysis solution that will enable the automatic detection of code defects that can occur during Symbian OS development.

Coverity has released Symbian C++ software defect detection capabilities as part of its Coverity Prevent SQS solution.

Coverity Prevent SQS is a static source code analysis solution that will enable the automatic detection of code defects that can occur during Symbian OS development.

Symbian OS is an operating system for data-enabled mobile phones known as smartphones.

Coverity's Software DNA Map allows complex defects in source code to be automatically identified.

Coverity will develop new code analysis capabilities designed specifically for Symbian OS.

The new Symbian C++ defect detection capability will identify a number of defects that can occur in code developed for Symbian OS.

"Defect detection for Symbian C++ will enable Prevent SQS to deliver the most accurate static analysis of Symbian code available to date", said Seth Hallem, CEO of Coverity.

"By adding these new capabilities to Prevent SQS, developers can focus more on Symbian OS development and less on identifying and managing code defects".

Symbian selected Coverity Prevent SQS in 2005 to provide static code analysis for its internal development teams.

Coverity professional services will collaborate with all Symbian C++ developers in the industry to implement best practices for ensuring code quality and security.

Additionally, Coverity will be certifying the quality of code for Symbian through its Coverity Certified program.

Being Coverity Certified provides third-party validation of code quality.
