Computability and Algebraic Specification J. V. TUCKER University of Wales, Swansea and J. I. ZUCKER McMaster University Abstract computable functions are defined by abstract finit...
Algebraic specifications of data types provide a natural basis for testing data types implementations. In this framework, the conformance relation is based on the satisfaction of a...
Deriving test cases from specifications is now recognised as a major application of formal methods to software development. Several methods have been proposed for various formalism...
Algebraic testing is an automated software testing method based on algebraic formal specifications. It tests if a program correctly implements an algebraic specification by checki...
Despite their benefits, programmers rarely use formal specifications, because they are difficult to write and they require an up front investment in time. To address these issues,...
