Abstract

This paper reports an industrial experiment of formal proof techniques applied to avionics software. This application became possible by using Caveat, a tool dedicated to assistance in comprehension and formal verification of safety critical applications written in C. With this approach it is possible to reduce significantly the actual verification effort (based on test) in achieving the verification objectives defined by the DO 178B [4].
