CodeFactor.io vs Coverity Scan: What are the differences?
Developers describe CodeFactor.io as "Automated Code Review for GitHub & BitBucket". CodeFactor.io automatically and continuously tracks code quality with every GitHub or BitBucket commit and pull request, helping software developers save time in code reviews and efficiently tackle technical debt. On the other hand, Coverity Scan is detailed as "Find and fix defects in your Java, C/C++ or C# open source project for free". Coverity's implementation of static analysis can follow all the possible paths of execution through source code (including interprocedurally) and find defects and vulnerabilities caused by the conjunction of statements that are not errors independent of each other.
CodeFactor.io and Coverity Scan can be primarily classified as "Code Review" tools.
