Static Source Code Analysis, The Next Generation

Gone are the days of noisy linters" and glorified spell checkers. Today’s static source code analysis is accurate and trustworthy, and can find complex inter-procedural coding defects that our human eyes would never see. Come see how open source developers have used Coverity’s Software Testing Platform to find and fix critical, crash causing bugs and security defects and learn how you can do the same. We’ll get our hands dirty with real live source code and bugs in popular open source packages.
