An approach to the development of correct microprograms is to use the methodologies that have been beneficial in the generation of correct user programs, i. e., structured programming, high-level languages (HLL's), and formal program verification using Floyd's inductive assertion method. This paper presents a system that combines these techniques to simplify the design and implementation of correct microprograms for a real microprogrammable computer. It gives some statistics which support our emphasis on generation as well as correctness and some preliminary results on the use of our system.
