The Spec# programming system is a new attempt at a more cost effective way to develop
and maintain high-quality software. This paper describes the goals and architecture of the …

Abstract The Java Modeling Language (JML) can be used to specify the detailed design of
Java classes and interfaces by adding annotations to Java source files. The aim of JML is to …

JML is a behavioral interface specification language tailored to Java (TM). Besides pre-and
postconditions, it also allows assertions to be intermixed with Java code; these aid …

Designing large software systems is one of the big technical challenges of our time. The
scope and complexity of software have now reached dimensions that push all established …

JML is a behavioral interface specification language tailored to Java. It is designed to be
written and read by working software engineers, and should require only modest …

Specification matching is a way to compare two software components, based on
descriptions of the component's behaviors. In the context of software reuse and library …

Many state-based specification languages, including the Java Modeling Language (JML),
contain at their core specification constructs familiar to most undergraduates: eg, assertions …

In the last chapter, we explained how the functional behavior of methods can be specified
and verified. Specification of functional method behavior describes the result value and …
