Coverity and Wind partners for embedded software security

Coverity and Wind River, have teamed to integrate Coverity's development testing platform for security with Wind River’s embedded software.

Coverity will offer an evaluation edition of 'Coverity static analysis,' pre-configured for Wind River Workbench, supporting both Wind River Linux, and Wind River’s VxWorks real-time operating system (RTOS).

This combined solution will enable the development teams to build security into the embedded software development process, and effectively address security vulnerabilities as software code is written.

The collaboration between Coverity and Wind River joins leaders in embedded software development and development testing.

''We are excited to join forces with Wind River, a pioneer in embedded software, making it easier than ever to build security into the development process without impacting rapid delivery schedules,'' said Jennifer Johnson, VP, marketing, Coverity.

''Together with Coverity, we are providing embedded developers with powerful solutions to rapidly and efficiently identify and tackle software security flaws in their workflow and dramatically curb potential security issues down the road,'' said Marc Brown, VP of tools and marketing operations, products group, Wind River.

''The integration of Coverity and Wind River is transforming the testing market by empowering embedded development teams to address security earlier than ever before, in the same way as quality, greatly reducing the business risk of brand damage and revenue loss associated with security vulnerabilities,'' said Theresa Lanowitz, co-founder of voke, a research firm.
