Share is the count of first choices across the direct, paraphrase, budget and scale prompts over all fourteen models, for a mid-market B2B company; rank is within the category; every quote names the model and the prompt it came from. Both figures come from the static application security testing page.

What the models said about Veracode Static Analysis

Every negative label with a quote, up to three, then the highest-weighted positives, up to three. Six of eight in this category shown.

“What I'd Avoid for Mid-Market: Checkmarx and Veracode are powerful but typically start at $60K–$100K+/year” Kimi K2 · paraphrase prompt · hard negative
“Full scans can delay fast-moving dev cycles, there's no on-premise option with code upload raising security concerns, and pricing can be steep” Claude Haiku 4.5 · negative prompt · soft negative
