Case Study: MStar Semiconductor achieves improved TV software quality and reliability with Synopsys Static Analysis (Coverity)

MStar Semiconductor Improves TV Software Quality and Reliability with Synopsys Static Analysis Coverity

MStar Semiconductor is a global supplier of ASICs for consumer and image‑processing products whose TV business unit develops connected, smart and embedded TV platforms. As software complexity grew, the team faced rising testing time, hard‑to‑find module‑level defects, schedule pressure, and the risk of harming customer satisfaction and brand reputation.

After evaluating several tools, MStar adopted Synopsys Static Analysis (Coverity) for its accuracy, performance, and support. Rolled out to about 70 developers, it enabled early detection and fixing of critical bugs (reducing a weeks‑long debug to days), improved productivity across 300+ projects, accelerated time‑to‑market, and measurably increased software quality and customer satisfaction.
