Abstract

This paper gives an overview of the KeY approach and highlights the main features of the KeY system. KeY is an approach (and a system) for the deductive verification of object-oriented software. It aims for integrating design, implementation, formal specification and formal verification as seamlessly as possible. The intention is to provide a platform that allows close collaboration of conventional and formal software development methods.
