User Experience with Language-Independent Formal Verification (1912.02951v1)
Published 6 Dec 2019 in cs.PL
Abstract: The goal of this paper is to help mainstream programmers routinely use formal verification on their smart contracts by 1) proposing a new YAML-format for writing general-purpose formal specifications, 2) demonstrating how a formal specification can be incrementally built up without needing advanced training, and 3) showing how formal specifications can be tested by using program mutation.
