Providing Early Warnings of Specification Problems

A formal software verification system relies upon a software engineer writing mathematically precise specifications of intended behavior. Humans often introduce defects into such specifications. Techniques and tools capable of warning about common defects can help them develop correct specifications by finding subtle issues that would permit unintended behavior. New specification-checking techniques and a tool that implements them, SpecChec, are described.
