"We purchased Coverity Prevent for our development environment to help us develop higher quality code. In order to assist us with on site training and optimization, we purchased a deployment service package from Coverity, which was delivered by Cigital," said Matthew Garrod, Applications Developer at Great American Insurance's Crop Division. "The Cigital team was very knowledgeable about Coverity Prevent, as well as polite and courteous. They provided quality training on all aspects of Prevent and assisted us in customizing the product to our specific needs. Our experience with Cigital has helped us integrate Coverity Prevent into our software development process and develop higher quality code."
Cigital will use Coverity's sophisticated technology that allows development teams to deliver superior-quality code, improve development processes and speed time-to-market for critical software systems.
