Talk:Fortify Software

message: ==Untitled==
I made a start on the requested  cleanup by removing the worst offender, a Gartner plug, from the summary, moving the link to its proper section.  I also removed some over-blown claims about the founders’ book.  Some of the latter might be differences of opinion: “first of its kind” is trivially true if “kind” is construed sufficiently narrowly, but is in my opinion over-optimistic.  “a complete guide to static analysis” is obviously false; there are only a couple of paragraphs on abstract interpretation and model checking, and the coverage of competitors is unsurprisingly cursory.  [Though not as cursory as the index implies; e.g., Coverity has only a single index entry, and Engler, believe it or not, is completely absent; but Coverity and/or Engler are also mentioned on pp. 39, 46, 95.]  And the failure to mention that sections of the book amount to an advertisement (though a worthwhile one, IMHO) does suggest a lack of good faith on the part of the editor.
COI(s) disclaimer:  My day job used to be using Coverity Prevent, though I might apply for a job with Fortify.
