Mutli-threaded Java applications introduce an entirely new class of hard-to-find software failures, commonly known as Concurrency defects. To date, testing for Concurrency defects such as Race Conditions and Deadlocks has been extremely difficult. In this session, Asya Kamsky, Director of Sales Engineering, Coverity will explain how recent breakthroughs in the use of Code Analysis is enabling developers to catch and eliminate these dangerous defects early in the development lifecycle.

External sources of code form a vast software development ecosystem which can, when used correctly, supercharge development productivity. A company's management of external sources of code is becoming as or more important than its internal development capabilities. However, developers face a multitude of challenges when working with mixed code. Beyond just support and maintenance, developers must react quickly to security vulnerability alerts, control version proliferation and manage software licenses.
