Case Study
Achieving Near Zero Defects Through Continuous Static Analysis Integration
This case study describes how Linx improved software quality and reliability by adopting a zero-defect policy supported by Coverity static analysis. Operating in environments requiring continuous uptime, Linx needed highly stable and secure embedded software. By integrating Coverity into its CI/CD pipeline and development workflows, the company enabled early detection and resolution of defects before code reached production. Despite initial resistance, developers embraced the tool as it revealed critical issues and improved coding practices. Over time, Linx achieved a dramatic reduction in defects, resolving the vast majority of identified issues and maintaining a near-flawless risk posture while improving developer efficiency and confidence in code quality.
