Synopsis
Many books focus on increasing the quality of software through the use of formal methods. However, most books embrace one particular method, and present it as the suggested solution for the software reliability problem. This book presents a wider picture of formal methods, through a collection of notations and techniques. It compares them, and discusses their advantages and disadvantages. One of the main challenges of formal methods is in transferring the tech nology developed by researchers to the software development community. Re cently, we seem to be starting to have a better understanding of the important ingredients of formal methods tools. This manifests itself in the growing ac ceptance of such tools in the software and hardware development industry. Ideally, formal methods need to be intuitive to use (preferably using graphi cal interfaces), do not impose on the user an extensive learning period, and incur only small overhead to the development process. Formal methods are much more acceptable today than ten or twenty years ago, in particular in the hardware industry. Yet there is still a lively contention between different approaches.

Review
From the reviews:
"The book covers a wide range of formal methods and how to use them to specify, verify and test software systems. ... the book will provide a good, gentle introduction to the field with many pointers to more in-depth material. ... I strongly recommend this book for anyone interested in using formal methods to develop reliable software. The book presents a very good introduction to the field and ... covers the state-of-the-art in software reliability methods." (Michael Leuschel, Software Testing, Verification and Reliability, Vol. 2 (2), November, 2001)

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This volume presents a collection of methods for dealing with software reliability. Ideally, formal methods need to be intuitive to use, require a relatively brief learning period, and incur only small overhead to the development process. This book compares these varying methods and reveals their respective advantages and disadvantages, while also staying close to the dual themes of automata theory and logic. Topics and features:Collects and compares the key software reliability methods currently in use: deductive verification, automatic verification, testing, and process algebraProvides useful information suitable in the software selection process for a given projectOffers numerous exercises, projects, and running examples to facilitate learning formal methods and allows for ¿hands-on¿ experience with these critical toolsDescribes the mathematical principles supporting formal methodsGives insights into new research directions in the field, as well as ways of developing new methods and/or adjusting existing ones.This volume can be used as an introduction to software methods techniques, a source for learning about various ways to enhance software reliability, and a guide to formal methods techniques. It is an essential resource for professionals and software engineers in R&D departments in industry, using software reliability, program-modeling systems, and verification methods. 356 pp. Englisch.
