Abstract

The main contribution of this paper consists of a description of a front-end tool which supports the computer-aided specification and verification of a class of flowcharts which capture the basic dynamics of object-oriented programs. The specific emphasis of our approach is on the automated verification of flowcharts annotated with assertions which allow one to specify properties directly in terms of the source code itself instead of some particular model of its semantics.
