  • Formal Verification Methods in industry
    4 projects | /r/compsci | 31 Jan 2022
    When you say "formal verification methods", what kind of techniques are you interested in? While using interactive theorem provers will most likely not become very widespread, there are plenty of tools that use formal techniques to give more correctness guarantees. These tools might give some guarantees, but do not guarantee complete functional correctness. WireGuard (VPN tunnel) is I think a very interesting application where they verified the protocol. There are also some tools in use, e.g. Mythril and CrossHair, that focus on detecting bugs using symbolic execution. There's also INFER from Facebook/Meta which tries to verify memory safety automatically. The following GitHub repo might also interest you, it lists some companies that use formal methods: practical-fm
  • Klara: Python automatic test generations and static analysis library
    5 projects | /r/Python | 13 Sep 2021
    The main difference that Klara bring to the table, compared to similar tool like pynguin and Crosshair is that the analysis is entirely static, meaning that no user code will be executed, and you can easily extend the test generation strategy via plugin loading (e.g. the options arg to the Component object returned from function above is not needed for test coverage).

    Just in case you are looking for an alternative approach: if you write contracts in your code, you might also consider crosshair [1] or icontract-hypothesis [2]. If your function/method does not need any pre-conditions then the the type annotations can be directly used.

    (I'm one of the authors of icontract-hypothesis.)

  • Programming in Z3 by learning to think like a compiler
    6 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 3 May 2021
    There's a tool for verification of Python programs based on contracts which uses Z3: https://github.com/pschanely/CrossHair

    You can use it as part of your CI or during the development (there's even a neat "watch" mode, akin to auto-correct).

    Looking at some of your SMT-based projects, I'd love to compare your SMT solver notes with my mine from working on https://github.com/pschanely/CrossHair

    Sadly, there aren't a lot of resources on how to use SMT solvers well.
