Inhaltsangabe

This textbook overviews the whole spectrum of formal methods and techniques that are aimed at verifying correctness of software, and how they can be used in practice. It focuses on techniques whereby the user has some control over the properties that are being checked. More specifically, it shows a wide range of techniques covering the whole spectrum:  from abstract system design to implementation, from bug finding to full proofs, and from techniques that are push-button by design and give a yes/no answer to techniques that require the user to provide explicit guidance to steer the analysis process.

Topics and features:

• Covers a broad spectrum of software verification techniques, from model checking to annotation checking
• Provides numerous examples to demonstrate the techniques
• Focuses on how techniques can be used (and the main ideas behind how they work), as opposed to how they are implemented
• Explainsstrengths and weaknesses of the techniques, providing insight into when to use which technique in practice

This unique textbook has been written primarily for master’s level students in computer science studying embedded systems and specializing in software technology. The book will also be of interest for students studying cyber security and data science technology, as well as for system or software developers interested in techniques that offer formal guarantees about software.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Ever since the beginnings of the development of software, researchers have been thinking about how to guarantee its correctness. Formal methods are techniques that can be used to improve software reliability and robustness.

This concise volume overviews the whole spectrum of formal methods and techniques that are aimed at verifying correctness of software, and how they can be used in practice. It focuses on techniques whereby the user has some control over the properties that are being checked. More specifically, it shows a wide range of techniques covering the whole spectrum:  from abstract system design to implementation, from bug finding to full proofs, and from techniques that are push-button by design and give a yes/no answer to techniques that require the user to provide explicit guidance to steer the analysis process.
