From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Formal methods are mathematical approaches to
software and
hardware computer-based system
development from
requirements,
specification and
design through to
programming and
implementation. They form an important
theoretical underpinning for
software engineering, especially where
safety or
security is involved. Formal methods are a useful adjunct to
software testing since they help avoid errors and can also give a framework for testing. For industrial use, tool support is required.
