Despite their benefits, programmers rarely use formalspecifications, because they are difficult to write and theyrequire an up front investment in time. To address these issues,we present a tool that helps programmers write anddebug algebraic specifications. Given an algebraic specification, our tool instantiates a prototype that can be used just like any regular Java class. The tool can also modifyan existing application to use the prototype generatedby the interpreter instead of a hand-coded implementation.The tool improves the usability of algebraic specificationsin the following ways: (i) A programmer can "run" an algebraicspecification to study its behavior. The tool reportsin which way a specification is incomplete for a client application.(ii) The tool can check whether a specification anda hand-coded implementation behave the same for a particularrun of a client application. (iii) A prototype can beused when a hand-coded implementation is not yet available.Two case studies demonstrate how to use the tool.
