Teradata needed a software quality solution that could scale with its massive code base as well as identify and help resolve the most difficult-to-find bugs.

Coverity Prevent SQS was chosen to replace an outsourced code inspection service in late 2005. John Costa, Teradata Director of Tools and Quality Engineering, explains the benefits of using Coverity: "Coverity's solution is specifically designed to process large amounts of code as we have experienced with our code set. Coverity Prevent SQS has a modular, extensible, and scalable architecture with a good balance between rigorous code analysis and speed."

Coverity's products easily integrate with Teradata's existing analytics environment with multiplatform and multilanguage support. Teradata also reports that customer support at Coverity is exemplary. "The working relationship we've established with the Coverity support team and the responsiveness we are getting demonstrates their excellent communication with us," Costa states.
