AI Meets Hoare Logic: Revolutionizing Software Testing with Formal Methods
#1about 3 minutes
The case for software verification in the AI era
AI-generated code is probabilistic and requires more than traditional testing, creating a need for formal software verification to ensure correctness.
#2about 3 minutes
Understanding the difference between testing and verification
Software testing finds errors through execution with selected inputs, while formal verification provides a complete mathematical proof of correctness for all inputs.
#3about 6 minutes
A primer on Hoare Logic and its core axioms
Hoare Logic uses preconditions, postconditions, and axioms like assignment and composition to formally prove that a piece of code behaves as specified.
#4about 1 minute
Current tools and applications for software verification
Modern verification relies on tools like SMT solvers and model checkers and is primarily used in critical systems like aerospace due to its high manual effort.
#5about 4 minutes
Verifying a binary search algorithm with OpenJML
A practical demonstration shows how to use OpenJML annotations like 'requires' and 'ensures' to formally verify a Java binary search implementation.
#6about 3 minutes
Using AI to generate formal verification proofs
AI tools like Gemini can generate verification annotations but may introduce subtle errors, highlighting the need for human oversight in this new validation workflow.
