Long gone are the days when program veri?cation was a task carried out merely by hand with paper and pen. For one, we are increasingly interested in proving actual program artifacts, not just abstractions thereof or core algorithms. The programs we want to verify today are thus longer, including whole classes and modules. As we consider larger programs, the number of cases to be considered in a proof increases. The creative and insightful parts of a proof can easily be lost in scores of mundane cases. Another problem with paper-and-pen proofs is that the features of the programming languages we employ in these programs are plentiful, including object-oriented organizations of data, facilities for specifying di?erent c- trol ?ow for rare situations, constructs for iterating over the elements of a collection, and the grouping together of operations into atomic transactions. These language features were designed to facilitate simpler and more natural encodings of programs, and ideally they are accompanied by simpler proof rules. But the variety and increased number of these features make it harder to remember all that needs to be proved about their uses. As a third problem, we have come to expect a higher degree of rigor from our proofs. A proof carried out or replayed by a machine somehow gets more credibility than one that requires human intellect to understand.

From the reviews:
"This book is a collection of work by different authors on software verification. The context of the book is the key project, which aims to build a verification of the systems based on model checking. The book features the widely used specification languages: object constraint language (OCL) and Java modeling language (JML). ... this book is a good resource for graduate students and researchers ... ."

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The ultimate goal of program verification is not the theory behind the tools or the tools themselves, but the application of the theory and tools in the software engineering process. Our society relies on the correctness of a vast and growing amount of software. Improving the software engineering process is an important, long-term goal with many steps. Two of those steps are the KeY tool and this KeY book. The material is presented on an advanced level suitable for graduate courses and, of course, active researchers with an interest in verification. The underlying verification paradigm is deductive verification in an expressive program logic. The logic used for reasoning about programs is not a minimalist version suitable for theoretical investigations, but an industrial-strength version. The first-order part is equipped with a type system for modelling of object hierarchies, with underspecification, and with various built-in theories. The program logic covers full Java Card (plus a bit more such as multi-dimensional arrays, characters, and long integers).A lot of emphasis is thereby put on specification, including two widely-used object-oriented specification languages (OCL and JML) and even an interface to natural language generation.The generation of proof obligations from specified code is discussed at length. The book is rounded off by two substantial case studies that are included and presented in detail. The goal of program verification is not the theory behind the tools or the tools themselves, but the application of the theory and tools in the software engineering process. This work emphasizes on specification, including two widely-used object-oriented specification languages (OCL and JML) and even an interface to natural language generation.
