FORMAN-Program formal annotation language

The FORMAN formal annotation language is a tool for program testing, debugging, verification and documentation. It is based on a semantic model of target program execution. A sequence of events serves for this model. Assertions about data and control flows in this target program can be written in this language. Pattern matching and aggregate operations constitute the core of the language. Libraries of assertions can be used for program static and dynamic analysis, e.g., to check the presence of typical bugs.<
