ROI Tip: Security Reviewer SAST ensures a drastic reduction of FPs from 5% to about 2.5% further reduced to 0% for Most important Vulnerabilities, as demonstrated by OWASP Benchmark’s results; that’s why your ROI on adopting our solutions will be faster. Another strategic move is to configure automated testing tools to flag only the defects that are critical or directly relevant to the application being built. The tools find so many things, but do you need to fix them all? Of course not. Once you have our tools automated in your pipeline, you can prioritize all your defects. You can balance defect discovery, and along with it, the remediation, which can save a lot.
High Quality Software
According Capers Jones, Software industry spends about $0.50 out of every $1.00 expended for development and maintenance on finding and fixing bugs. Most forms of testing are below 35% in defect removal efficiency or remove only about one bug out of three. All tests together seldom top 85% in defect removal efficiency. About 7% of bug repairs include new bugs. About 6% of test cases have bugs of their own. These topics need to be measured, controlled, and improved. Security flaws are leading to major new costs for recovery after attacks. Better security is a major subset of software quality. A synergistic combination of defect prevention, pre-test defect removal, and formal testing by certified personnel can top 99% in defect removal efficiency while simultaneously lowering costs and shortening schedules. For companies that know how to achieve it, high quality software is faster and cheaper than low quality software.

Let’s say a Customer is considering investing in a new SAST+Software Composition Analysis solution. He was working with Fortify for more than 10 years, hardly managing a large number of False Positives, with no Software Composition Analysis. After determining that it needed a new application security testing system to help with process efficiencies, monitoring capabilities, and application security, the Customer immediately looked towards a niche solution like Security Reviewer. Briefly, the company considered other solutions staying in top of Gartner and Forrester researches, but those solutions deployed legacy capabilities and did not fully meet their needs. The code is also all SaaS, and due to the company's requirements, it could not send source code externally over the cloud. The Customer needed to have source code analysis on-premises, and Security Reviewer easily met that requirement. When facilitating the Security Reviewer deployment, the Customer chose to take an "automatic" approach to challenging manual processes allowing users to focus on more value-driven work instead of analyzing the source code for vulnerabilities.
