Runtime verificationRuntime verification is a computing system analysis and execution approach based on extracting information from a running system and using it to detect and possibly react to observed behaviors satisfying or violating certain properties. Some very particular properties, such as datarace and deadlock freedom, are typically desired to be satisfied by all systems and may be best implemented algorithmically. Other properties can be more conveniently captured as formal specifications.
Bug (informatique)vignette|upright=1|Le Mac triste : écran indiquant un code erreur sur les premières versions du MacIntosh d'Apple. En informatique, un bug (prononcé en français : ) ou bogue est un défaut de conception d'un programme informatique à l'origine d'un dysfonctionnement. La gravité du dysfonctionnement peut aller de bénigne, causant par exemple des défauts d'affichage mineurs à majeure, tels un plantage du système pouvant entraîner de graves accidents, par exemple la destruction en vol de la première fusée Ariane 5, en 1996.
Specification by exampleSpecification by example (SBE) is a collaborative approach to defining requirements and business-oriented functional tests for software products based on capturing and illustrating requirements using realistic examples instead of abstract statements. It is applied in the context of agile software development methods, in particular behavior-driven development. This approach is particularly successful for managing requirements and functional tests on large-scale projects of significant domain and organisational complexity.
Vampire (theorem prover)Vampire is an automatic theorem prover for first-order classical logic developed in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Manchester. Up to Version 3, it was developed by Andrei Voronkov together with Kryštof Hoder and previously with Alexandre Riazanov. Since Version 4, the development has involved a wider international team including Laura Kovacs, Giles Reger, and Martin Suda. Since 1999 it has won at least 53 trophies in the CADE ATP System Competition, the "world cup for theorem provers", including the most prestigious FOF division and the theory-reasoning TFA division.
ReadabilityReadability is the ease with which a reader can understand a written text. In natural language, the readability of text depends on its content (the complexity of its vocabulary and syntax) and its presentation (such as typographic aspects that affect legibility, like font size, line height, character spacing, and line length).
Prover9Prover9 is an automated theorem prover for first-order and equational logic developed by William McCune. Prover9 is the successor of the Otter theorem prover also developed by William McCune. Prover9 is noted for producing relatively readable proofs and having a powerful hints strategy. Prover9 is intentionally paired with Mace4, which searches for finite models and counterexamples. Both can be run simultaneously from the same input, with Prover9 attempting to find a proof, while Mace4 attempts to find a (disproving) counter-example.
HaxeHaxe est le nom d'un langage de programmation, multi-paradigme, multiplate-forme, haut niveau et celui d'un compilateur utilisé pour produire des applications pour de nombreuses plates-formes différentes à partir d'un seul code source. C'est aussi le nom d'un logiciel gratuit et open source distribué sous la licence GPLv2. La bibliothèque standard est disponible sous la licence MIT. Haxe inclut un ensemble de fonctions communes qui sont supportées sur toutes les plates-formes, tels que les types de données numériques, textuelles, tabulaires et binaires ainsi que certains formats de fichier communs.
Software renderingSoftware rendering is the process of generating an image from a model by means of computer software. In the context of computer graphics rendering, software rendering refers to a rendering process that is not dependent upon graphics hardware ASICs, such as a graphics card. The rendering takes place entirely in the CPU. Rendering everything with the (general-purpose) CPU has the main advantage that it is not restricted to the (limited) capabilities of graphics hardware, but the disadvantage is that more transistors are needed to obtain the same speed.
