Code Intelligence operates a platform for automated software security testing. Now Google is cooperating with Code Intelligence.
Making software secure with little effort
Code Intelligence is working to make software testing more effective and accessible by greatly improving automated testing for Java and other programming languages. Relevant open source projects should now have easier access to this testing procedure. Google is now assuming the costs for infrastructure and computing power.
Already over 50,000 bugs found in free software
The test procedure, known as fuzz testing, is by far the most effective test approach for automatically detecting and eliminating vulnerabilities and security holes in software. With OSS-Fuzz, Google has been offering the testing procedure since 2016 to check open source software for security vulnerabilities on a large scale, mainly in programming languages such as C/C++. Code Intelligence now provides the integration for Java applications, which is now being integrated into OSS-Fuzz. Right at the start of the cooperation, Google and Code Intelligence were able to uncover a whole range of new security vulnerabilities in business-critical applications.
Multiple awards for innovation
Code Intelligence is a spin-off of the University of Excellence Bonn. Forbes Magazine lists the company as one of the 30 most innovative startups in the DACH region. Last year, the Code Intelligence team received the Innovation Award of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia and the Bosch Innovation Award for outstanding achievements.
About Code Intelligence
With their automated testing platform, Code Intelligence has already fixed thousands of bugs and security vulnerabilities. Now they’re releasing part of their application for open source. We’d love to tell you the whole story.
