Development testing technology named award finalist

This year's program features 28 Software categories, several of which are new or updated to reflect the latest industry trends. Winners will be announced during a special awards dinner on May 21 in San Francisco during the industry's premier ISV gathering of SaaS, BI and Cloud providers, Maximize.

The Coverity Scan service provides Coverity's patented development testing technology at no cost to the open source community, helping them build quality and security into their software development process. The service, which began as the largest public-private sector research project focused on open source software integrity, was initiated between Coverity and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in 2006 and is now managed by Coverity.

"Coverity helps developers write better code faster. By offering our technology to the open source community for free, we are able to help them find and fix high-impact quality and security defects in their C/C++ and Java projects, faster and more efficiently," said Zack Samocha, senior director of Products for Coverity. "We are honored to be recognized as a finalist for such a prestigious award."

"This year's CODiE Awards finalists showcase the innovation and creativity in today's market. We are happy to recognize them for their products that are breaking ground in the software industry," said Rhianna Collier, vice president of the Software Division at SIIA. "I look forward to honoring all the finalists in May at our awards program at Maximize."
