Z specifications

Z specifications are a formal method used to describe and design software systems precisely using mathematical notation. They focus on defining data structures, states, and operations clearly, making it easier to verify correctness and detect errors early in development. Think of Z as a detailed blueprint written in a precise language that ensures everyone involved understands exactly how the system should behave, reducing ambiguities. It’s especially useful for complex or safety-critical systems, helping developers create reliable software by providing a formal, unambiguous description of the system’s requirements and functionalities.
