Abstract

The benefits of formal methods for software engineering have been described at length in many research papers. They include among others:

  1. •

    Better understanding and improved communication through unambiguous descriptions.

  2. •

    Early bug detection thanks to the formalisation of specifications.

  3. •

    Possibility of formal verifications of properties of software components and systems.

  4. •

    Systematic testing from formal specifications.
