| 2 | Coverity has a static analysis tool (Prevent) which is similar to Klocwork. | 
|---|
| 3 | They run their tool on the Python source code (SVN head) on a daily basis. |

| 4 | The results are available at: |

| 8 | About 20 people have access to the analysis reports.  Other |

| 11 | Prevent was first run on the Python 2.5 source code in March 2006. | 
|---|
| 12 | There were originally about 100 defects reported.  Some of these | 
|---|
| 13 | were false positives.  Over 70 issues were uncovered. | 
|---|
| 14 |  | 
|---|
| 15 | Each warning has a unique id and comments that can be made on it. | 
|---|
| 16 | When checking in changes due to a warning, the unique id | 
|---|
| 17 | as reported by the tool was added to the SVN commit message. | 
|---|
| 18 |  | 
|---|
| 19 | False positives were annotated so that the comments can | 
|---|
| 20 | be reviewed and reversed if the analysis was incorrect. |
