Case Study: NNG improves IVI navigation software quality and speeds time-to-market with Synopsys (Coverity)

NNG ensures software quality for in-vehicle infotainment and navigation systems with Coverity

NNG, maker of the iGO Navigation software used by millions of devices and licensed to more than 150 OEMs, faced mounting quality and maintenance challenges as it scaled. Its product family shares roughly 80% of code across multiple platforms and includes over one million lines of legacy source, so defects and inefficiencies propagated broadly, increasing maintenance costs, slowing time-to-market for new features, and complicating heavy OEM customizations.

NNG benchmarked static analysis tools and chose Coverity Static Analysis, embedding it into its development workflow and applying it to new code and legacy codebases. The deployment uncovered serious defects (for example in graphics rendering), established measurable quality metrics, and helped eliminate inefficient coding patterns—resulting in higher software quality, faster development and customization, reduced maintenance and testing costs, and stronger, more consistent quality standards for NNG and its OEM partners.
