MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.,
Jan. 11, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today announced it
has been recognized as a leader in The Forrester Wave™: Static
Application Security Testing, Q1 2021. The report identifies the 12
most significant vendors in the static application security testing
(SAST) market and evaluates them against 28 criteria in three
high-level categories: current offering, strategy, and market
presence. Synopsys' Coverity SAST solution received the highest
score among all 12 vendors in the current offering category and
ranked in the top three in the strategy category.
The report advises readers to "look for SAST solutions that
overlay the CI/CD pipeline through out-of-the-box-integrations with
popular IDEs, build tools, and code repositories. In addition, seek
solutions that provide actionable remediation guidance, with code
samples and interactive training reachable through the developer's
toolset."
Within the current offering category, Synopsys received the top
score in the software development lifecycle integration criterion
and the highest score possible in the remediation guidance and
education criterion. Within the strategy category, Synopsys
received the highest scores possible in three of the five criteria:
product vision, market approach, and planned enhancements. The
Forrester report notes that "Synopsys is a good fit for firms
looking for a strong SAST solution that is also part of an overall
AST platform."
"We're proud to be recognized by Forrester as a leader in the
SAST market," said Jason Schmitt,
general manager of the Synopsys Software Integrity Group. "As one
of the foundational solutions in our broad application security
testing portfolio, Coverity has not only continued to deliver the
value security teams expect from an enterprise SAST tool — but it
has also evolved to address emerging use cases, such as enabling
frictionless experience for developers and supporting the
increasingly diverse ecosystem of toolchains, programming
languages, and architectures."
