Products
Code Insight is a static code analysis tool for analyzing large replicated code bases. It is a commercial product which originated as CP Miner, out of the Opera Research group, at the Computer Science Department at the University of Illinois, which used to identify duplicate code in source code due to copy paste programming.
Log Insight is a product for IT log search and analytics for semi-structured data.
History
In the years prior to starting the company, the Opera Research group ran their tools on the Linux kernel code and published the results to the open-source community. Once the media picked up on the published results, several industry-leading Fortune 500 companies started calling and asking to use the tools to test the quality of their code.
At that point the team decided to improve the technology and form a company. In September 2006, Yuanyuan Zhou, along with Spiros Xanthos, Qingbo Zhu and Zhenmin Li, formed a company and started the process of commercializing the technology.
In July 2007, the company was a recipient of the National Science Foundation SBIR Phase I grant followed a year later by a Phase II grant.
In January 2008 the company was funded by Venture Investors, John Lovitt, and Kai Li.
