Coverity announces open-source application analysis site

[Posted February 19, 2009 by cook]

Coverity has announced its new scan.coverity.com, which analyzes over 2500 open-source projects. "As an outgrowth of its contract with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Coverity collected this data via the Scan site using the Coverity Architecture Analyzer product. This new, publicly accessible resource includes application architecture files and generated diagrams that will benefit developers planning to incorporate open source packages in their applications, as well as developers that want to learn the architectures of successful projects to improve the structure of their own applications."

Interesting. Too bad the diagram generator is itself closed.

I agree. Coverity helped find some bugs with an open source project I worked on, but surely the checker itself could be much improved if open sourced.

Oh well, at least such checks won't harm a project if they go away, so no BitKeeper issues pending. :)
