Abstract
In this paper we present a combination of formal specification and mechanical analysis enabling a simple and flexible development process for interface specifications from requirements. Using the potential of temporal logic for describing non-functional requirements we derive an analysis model from functional requirements. Slightly abusing its original object-oriented incentives we employ the precision and modularity of formal specification in Object-Z for representing interface descriptions. A structure preserving translation of Object-Z specifications to the model checker SMV unifies the temporal logic specification of requirements with the analysis model. The automated verification in SMV supports a feedback loop for a stepwise improvement of the requirement specification and its analysis model. We illustrate this technique on the case study of the safety-critical TWIN elevator system.
