Coverity, Inc. - Coverity Architecture Analyzer delivers beat decision of software systems

Coverity, Inc., the baton in convalescent software above and aegis automatically, today appear the availability of Coverity Architecture Analyzer™. This new adaptation of Coverity’s architectonics artefact incorporates the company’s patented Software DNA Map appraisal arrangement to accommodate development teams with the adeptness to ensure the candor of appliance architectonics above development teams, appraisal the aggravation and dependencies of software systems, and analyze errors that can actualize blast causing defects or aegis vulnerabilities.

“Application architectonics is a analytical conduct for architecture able appliance casework and solutions that plan with "common componentry" in a address that satisfies the organization's requirements, while acknowledging its approaching evolution. It is about absurd to auspiciously body IT applications, or a portfolio of applications, after leveraging assorted patterns, practices and frameworks,” according to Gartner’s 2008 address ‘Defining the Discipline of Application Architecture’.1

Coverity Architecture Analyzer automatically maps hierarchies and dependencies in C/C++ and Java cipher bases, accouterment the afterimage and ascendancy development teams charge to ascertain abeyant defects and ensure cipher modifications adjust with aboriginal architecture specifications. The apparatus supports a web-based interface and IDE constituent for Java, acceptance teams to cross code, analysis for architectural accuracy, actual annex defects and set aggravation limits.

Coverity Architectural Analyzer requires no change to the antecedent cipher or body environment. It automatically delivers actionable abstracts to architects and developers so they can accretion a abysmal compassionate of the cipher anatomy and actuate whether new antecedent cipher apparatus will attach to the aboriginal software design. Key appearance include:

•Automated Architectural Visualization - Generate absolute maps of antecedent cipher structures automatically including interdependencies, architectonics aggravation maps, annex blueprint visualizations and annex anatomy matrices
•Detect Architectural Security Issues - Automatically analyze pathways that avoid appliance acceptance ascendancy checkpoints, encryption or decryption APIs, and added aegis concerns
•Set and Enforce Application Architecture - Define advised architectures and accomplish the planned architectonics by acceptance architects to specify advised cipher architectonics and allegory cipher anatomy as antecedent cipher evolves
•Detect Architectural Quality Issues - Automatically ascertain appliance architectonics violations such as about-face or annular dependencies that can accomplish software harder to advance and refactor

“As developers address new cipher or advance absolute cipher over time, architects and managers are challenged with ensuring the candor of their appliance architecture,” said Ben Chelf, Coverity CTO. “By automating the complicated action of visualizing and allegory appliance architecture, our barter can annihilate alarming aegis and above issues aboriginal in the development lifecycle and ensure their absolute cipher abject evolves with an intended, connected design.”

Coverity Architecture Analyzer expands Coverity’s apartment of beat articles that advice developers ensure the candor of their software. The artefact aswell takes advantage of Coverity Prevent™, the company’s flagship changeless appraisal solution.

Pricing and Availability
The artefact is accessible anon and appraisement begins at beneath than $10,000. For added information, visit: www.coverity.com
