Littlewood introduced the idea that software may be possibly perfect and that we can contemplate its probability of (im)perfection. We review this idea and show how it provides a bridge between correctness, which is the goal of software verification (and especially formal verification), and the probabilistic properties such as reliability that are the targets for system-level assurance. We enumerate...
In safety critical software failure can have a high price. Such software should be free of errors before it is put into operation. Application of formal methods in the software development life cycle helps to ensure that the software for safety critical missions are ultra reliable. PVS theorem prover, a formal method tool, can be used for the formal verification of software in ADA language for flight...
Systems verification requires first to model the system to be verified, then to formalize the properties to be satisfied, and finally to describe the behaviour of the environment. This last point, known as the proof context, is often neglected. It could, however, be of great importance in order to reduce the complexity of the proof. The question is then how to formalize such a proof context. This...
