Generating Object-z Specifications
نویسندگان
چکیده
The importance of use cases has been growing for the last few years. We believe they are important to help developers capturing requirements. The work presented here formalises use cases using basic temporal logic to define history invariants within Object-Z class schemas. This is accomplished by proposing a set of formal frameworks integrated within a process.

Generating Python Code From Object-Z Specifications
Object-Z is an object-oriented specification language which extends the Z language with classes, objects, inheritance and polymorphism that can be used to represent the specification of a complex system as collections of objects. There are a number of existing works that mapped Object-Z to C++ and Java programming languages. Since Python and Object-Z share many similarities, both are object-ori...
متن کاملA Case Study in Partial Specification: Consistency and Refinement for Object-Z
The ‘viewpoint’ approach, in which a system is described by several partial specifications, has been proposed as a way of making complex computing systems more understandable. The ISO’s Open Distributing Processing (ODP) framework is an architecture for open distributed systems, involving five named viewpoints. This paper compares two partial specifications of a lending library — from the ODP’s...
متن کاملAutomated Testing From Z Specifications
This paper considers the problem of automatically generating tests from Z specifications based on userdefined testing criteria. Automation is facilitated by formally specifying heuristics for generating tests that can be applied to a specification using general purpose theorem proving tools. The formal specification of the heuristics also allows desirable properties to be checked and comparativ...
متن کاملMapping UML Models incorporating OCL Constraints into Object-Z
Focusing on object-oriented designs, this paper proposes a mapping for translating systems modelled in the Unified Modelling Language (UML) incorporating Object Constraint Language (OCL) constraints into formal software specifications in Object-Z. Joint treatment of semi-formal model constructs and constraints within a single translation framework and conversion tool is novel, and leads to the ...
متن کاملSoftware Development with Object-Z, CSP, and Java: A Pragmatic Link from Formal Specifications to Programs
Object-Z and CSP are high level specification languages which offer powerful formal support for the design of distributed, communicating systems. Java is an ideal implementation language for such systems. But developing provably correct Java implementations from these specifications is notoriously difficult. To bridge this gap we suggest to use Jass, which extends Java with assertions, as an in...
