Software model checking

Software model checking is a systematic method used to verify that a software program behaves correctly according to its specifications. It involves creating a model, or an abstract representation, of the software and then checking all possible states the program might reach during execution. This helps identify bugs or potential issues before the software is deployed. Essentially, it’s like running an exhaustive test that explores every scenario the software might encounter, ensuring reliability and safety in its operation. This technique is especially valuable in critical applications like aerospace, healthcare, and finance, where errors can have serious consequences.
