run-time verification

Run-time verification is a process used to ensure that a computer program behaves correctly while it is running. It involves checking the program’s actions against specific rules or properties in real-time, much like monitoring a vehicle's speed to ensure it stays within legal limits. If a problem or unexpected behavior is detected, it can trigger alerts or corrective actions to prevent errors or failures. This approach helps catch issues early, enhancing the program’s reliability and safety, especially in critical systems like healthcare, transportation, or aerospace.
