Abstract

The KeY system offers a platform of software analysis tools for sequential Java. Foremost, this includes full functional verification against contracts written in the Java Modeling Language. But the approach is general enough to provide a basis for other methods and purposes:

(i) complementary validation techniques to formal verification such as testing and debugging, methods that reduce the complexity of verification such as modularization and abstract interpretation, (ii) analyses of non-functional properties such as information flow security, and %worst-case execution time, (iii) sound program transformation and code generation.

We show that deductive technology that has been developed for full functional verification can be used as a basis and framework for other purposes than pure functional verification. We use the current release of the KeY system as an example to explain and prove this claim.
