coverity
I am recently working on the Coverity Prevent product, which is a static source code analysis tool to identify possible bugs in the source code. The tool is pretty cool, originally developed in Stanford University. It's gaining a lot of momentum recently with mature products and backed by VC. Looks like many big companies are jumping onto the board of Coverity. It's a promising tool. But I think the final fate of the company or the best deal would be sold to big software companies like Microsoft or Symantec. Anyway, it's a good tool and I am the administrator of the tool in my department of Ericsson Canada.
