Liveness for Verification
We explore the use of liveness for interactive program verification for a
simple concurrent object language. Our experimental IDE integrates two
(formally dual) kinds of continuous testing into the development environment:
compatibility-checking, which verifies an object's use of other objects, and
compliance-checking, which verifies an object's claim to refine the behaviour
of another object. Source code errors highlighted by the IDE are not static
type errors but the reflection back to the source of runtime errors that occur
in some execution of the system. We demonstrate our approach, and discuss
opportunities and challenges.Comment: 2nd Workshop on Live Programming Systems, LIVE 201
