+### Static analysis
+
+The [benchmark][] machines are set up so they can run preinstalled tooling against the Node.js codebase and submit the results to [Coverity Scan][].
+
 The playbook should download and install the Coverity build tool needed for static analysis into `/var/`. The extracted build tool should end up in a directory similar to `/var/cov-analysis-linux64-2023.6.2`. This directory must match the `PATH` setting in the [node-daily-coverity][] job. According to Synopsis the tool is usually updated twice yearly -- if it is updated the directory will change and the following steps should be done:
 
-* Run the playbook on all [jenkins-workspace][] machines so that they have the same version of the Coverity build tool installed.
+* Run the playbook on all [benchmark][] machines so that they have the same version of the Coverity build tool installed.
 * Update the [node-daily-coverity][] job so that the set `PATH` contains the new directory name.
