Abstract

While adding formal methods to traditional software development processes can provide very high levels of assurance and reduce costs by finding errors earlier in the development cycle, there are at least four criteria that should be considered before introducing formal methods into a project. This paper describes five successful examples of the use of formal methods in the development of high integrity systems and discusses how each project satisfied these criteria.
