A Formal Object-Oriented Analysis for Software Reliability: Design for Verification

This paper presents the OOA design step in a methodology which integrates automata-based model checking into a commercially supported OO software development process. The paper defines and illustrates a set of design rules for OOA models with executable semantics, which lead to automata models with tractable state spaces. The design...
