Caveat: a tool for software validation

Caveat is a static analysis tool designed to help verify safety critical software. It operates on ANSI C programs. It was developed by CEA, the French nuclear agency and is used as an operational tool by Airbus-France and EdF, the French electricity company. It is mainly based on Hoare Logic and rewriting of first order logic predicates. The main features of Caveat are property synthesis, navigation facilities, and proof of properties.
