The ability of a development organization to quickly respond to market conditions and customer demands is a significant competitive advantage. When architects and developers are on the same page throughout the development lifecycle, they can improve software integrity, providing benefits across the entire business. Coverity Architecture Analysis helps ensure maximum team agility by making both new and legacy code bases easier to manage and change.
Improve Maintainability
Code maintenance is becoming more of a challenge for today’s development organizations. To effectively control and manage change, teams need all the help they can get for managing successive versions of code. For development organizations using an agile methodology, this can be an even greater challenge due to the speed of iteration. Coverity Architecture Analysis helps by making software architecture easy to define, communicate, and control.
Ensure Architectural Security
Software security is an important consideration in every phase of the software development lifecycle. Architects and developers need to know that software is structurally free from vulnerabilities and weaknesses to ensure they are building on a secure foundation. Coverity Architecture Analysis allows teams to detect, triage, and resolve architectural flaws that create security exposures.
Reduce Complexity
Excessive code complexity can hinder business-critical development and refactoring efforts. To solve complexity issues, developers and architects need an effective way to understand exactly which areas of code need to be simplified. Architecture Analysis leverages Coverity’s Software DNA Map analysis system to gain a comprehensive understanding of your code.
Enforce Design Rules
As code bases become larger and more complex, adhering to the original design becomes a challenge. The structural visibility provided by Coverity Architecture Analysis allows architects and senior developers to ensure that design specifications do not degrade over time and unwanted dependencies are not introduced during development.
