Case Study: ip.access achieves zero software failures and faster development with Synopsys Coverity

ip.access improves product quality across its software supply chain and accelerates development lifecycle by 15 percent with Coverity

ip.access, a UK-based maker of small cellular base stations, faced challenges in ensuring code quality across its global supply chain of internal and outsourced developers. This was critical to meet stringent customer SLAs requiring 99.999% availability and to avoid financial penalties. The company turned to Synopsys and its Coverity static analysis solution to enforce consistent standards and identify critical defects before product releases.

By implementing Synopsys Coverity, ip.access mandated that all suppliers provide "Coverity clean" code, effectively managing quality across its entire software ecosystem. The solution accelerated the development lifecycle by 15%, enabled code acceptance within a strict 30-day window, and resulted in zero field crashes since deployment. This ensured the company could reliably meet its availability SLAs and avoid financial penalties.
