Behavioral Interface Speci cation Languages

چکیده
Behavioral interface speci cation languages allow programmers to express the intended behavior of programs such as functional behavior and resource consumption. Formal speci cations of program behavior is useful for precise documentation, for the generation of test cases and test oracles, for debugging, and for formal program veri cation. In this paper, we survey behavioral interface speci cation languages with a focus toward automatic program veri cation and, in particular, the Veri ed Software Initiative.

متن کاملProtective Interface Speci cations
The interface speci cation of a procedure describes the procedure s behavior using pre and postconditions These pre and postconditions are written using various functions If some of these functions are partial or underspeci ed then the procedure speci cation may not be well de ned We show how to write pre and postcondition speci cations that avoid such problems by having the precondition protec...
