| 60 | | '''Description:''' Coverity is a static code analysis system that is used to analyze FFmpeg code to find bugs with an emphasis on quality and security issues. There are currently 674 open issues. |
| 61 | | This project proposes to pay ? € per issue classified. |
| 62 | | |
| 63 | | '''Expected results:''' all easy classifyable issues become classified, it is understood that a small number of issues will be very difficult to classify without fixing them, these will stay unclassified |

| | 60 | '''Description:''' |
| | 61 | Coverity is a static code analysis system that is used to analyze FFmpeg code |
| | 62 | to find bugs with an emphasis on quality and security issues. There are currently |
| | 63 | 673 outstanding issues identified by Coverity. Some of these |
| | 64 | issues are false positives while others could open the door to |
| | 65 | security vulnerabilities. |
| | 66 | |
| | 67 | '''Milestones:''' There will be 3 pairs of milestones, the first of each pair will be about Fixing the outstanding real issues, improve code where simple shortcommings have been noticed and patches will be submitted. The 2nd of each pair will be about merging the patches to git master |
| | 68 | |
| | 69 | '''Expected results:''' all issues become classified, most real issues become fixed, tangentially related things found in the work will also be fixed. it is understood that some issues may be too difficult to classify or fix and that a small number of patches may be rejected and not merged for reasons outside the scope of this work |
| 67 | | '''Payment:''' X€ for all 674 issues are classified or proportionally less for a subset. |

| 72 | | == Resolve Coverity Bugs == |
| 73 | | |
| 74 | | '''Description:''' Coverity is a static code analysis system that is used to analyze FFmpeg code to find bugs with an emphasis on quality and security issues. Once issues are classified as bugs, they need to be closed, we esitimate that 1/3 of the issues will be bugs, that is we expect 225 bugs will need fixes. |
| 75 | | This project proposes to pay XX € per issue resolved. |
| 76 | | |
| 77 | | '''Expected results:''' close to 0 remaining issues |
| 78 | | |
| 79 | | '''Duration:''' whatever time it takes |
| 80 | | |
| 81 | | '''Payment:''' X€ for all issues fixed or proportionally less for a subset. |
