“Automated testing should be part of any development process whether your development team uses Agile or waterfall methodologies,” explains Michael Azoff, Senior Research Analyst at Butler Group. “With software permeating more critical parts of everyday life and code bases increasing in size to hundreds of thousands or even millions of lines of code, developers need advanced tools from vendors like Coverity that help them ensure the integrity of these complex applications as early as possible in the development cycle.”
Danny McLaughlin, Coverity’s new Director of European sales for Coverity added “Software innovation is a significant contributor to many European economies. Because of this, we see growing demand for Coverity’s next generation development tools to help accelerate the success of this important economic sector. Coverity is uniquely positioned to succeed in Europe because of our sophisticated technology, established customer base and local expertise in serving the needs of European software development teams.”
McLaughlin joins Coverity from Agitar Software where he was responsible for the company’s European subsidiaries. Prior to that, he spent 10 years as IBM/Rational’s VP of Northern Europe responsible for the UK, Scandinavia and the Benelux.
In the last year Coverity also doubled its sales and technical staff in Europe while establishing a local sales centre in Germany to complement its European headquarters in Oxford, England. Coverity’s Germany office is managed by Jurgen Treip, and is located at Prielmayerstr 3, 80335 München. Coverity is looking to further expand its presence in Europe by establishing new reseller relationships in Scandinavia and Southern Europe.
Coverity is the leading provider of next generation software development products that help organizations eliminate quality and security defects in their software early in the application development lifecycle, when problems are most cost effective to eliminate.
