Coverity Joins GENIVI Alliance to Help Shape the Future of Software Quality in the Automotive Industry

SAN FRANCISCO, June 19, 2012 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Coverity, the leader in development testing, announced today that it has joined the GENIVI Alliance to help shape the future of software quality of In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) systems within the automotive industry. GENIVI has also joined Coverity Scan as a statement of its commitment to software quality of the GENIVI Linux-based open source IVI platform.

GENIVI is a non-profit industry alliance committed to driving the broad adoption of an IVI open source development platform. The Alliance aims to align requirements, deliver reference implementations, offer certification programs and foster a vibrant open source IVI community, resulting in shortened development cycles, faster time-to market and reduced costs for companies developing IVI equipment and software. GENIVI members include automobile original equipment manufacturers including BMW, GM and Honda, as well as their ecosystem of suppliers, who use the GENIVI platform as a common underlying framework when designing and implementing next-generation IVI systems.

Coverity Scan is the largest public-private research project focused on open source software integrity, originally initiated between Coverity and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in 2006, and currently owned and managed by Coverity. Coverity Scan works with some of the most widely adopted open source projects including Linux, PHP and Apache, providing Coverity's flagship development testing solution, Coverity® Static Analysis, as a free service to the open source community. As part of the Coverity Scan service, Coverity automatically tests source code of participating open source projects for quality and security defects, exposing them in the developer's existing workflow. By finding and fixing defects early in the cycle, it helps reduce development costs, accelerate time to market and reduce the risk of software defects making their way into the field.
