Recently, Coverity announced Prevent(TM) SQS (Software Quality System), the first automated solution based on Coverity's patent pending Software DNA Map technology, which identifies and resolves the most critical defects in C, C++ and Java source code.

Coverity and the other AlwaysOn AO100 Top Private Companies will be honored at the Stanford Summit, to be held July 31-August 2, 2007, at Stanford University. The winners will also be covered on the AlwaysOn Web site and in the summer issue of AO's magazine.
