In this post, I will attempt to emphasise the existing tools for designing safety-critical systems for the implementation of clean, concise and reliable code. Formal methods are techniques used by software engineers to design safety-critical systems and their components. Such models are subject to proof-check Formal Specification with regards to stability, cohesion and reliability. Proving validation is a core process for evaluating models using automatic theorem proofs.

This is based on a set of mathematical formulas to be proven called proof obligations Formal Verification. Standard development techniques revolve around the following phases:. Some may argue that all these steps usually take place, but they must, to some extent for at least usable software with longer perspectives for exploitation.

Some of the earlier steps — particularly design stages — may bring a sense of uncertainty in terms of unforeseen problems later in the process. The reasons could be:. These are just some avoidable factors in the completion of complex projects.

Safety-critical systems, in particular, have a significant need for earlier fault detection. It is crucial to validate software faultlessness where agile incremental analysis and development bring about quality assurance concerns. Thus, that is where the implementation of such techniques finds its highest demand. There are notable differences between standard and formal software development methods. Formal methods are somewhat supporting tools.

Here, the reliability of mathematics improves software production quality at any stage. They are not necessarily there to implement data processing. Choice of programming language is irrelevant.
