First, that's a very successful company. Second, you're extrapolating what an entire market will do from one, ancient example. Today, there's a number of companies selling static analyzers, test generators, model-checkers, and I think I've even seen fuzzing. They tend to succeed if their tools get results for clients with little work on clients' side. They love push-button tools, too, that smoothly integrate into their workflow.

So, this company definitely has a chance. Further corroboration is the uptake Hypothesis was getting in Python shops. There's definitely a demand. I just don't know the numbers for this sector.
