JML: A Notation for Detailed Design

  • Chapter
Behavioral Specifications of Businesses and Systems

Part of the book series: The Springer International Series in Engineering and Computer Science ((SECS,volume 523))

Abstract

JML is a behavioral interface specification language tailored to Java. It is designed to be written and read by working software engineers, and should require only modest mathematical training. It uses Eiffel-style syntax combined with model-based semantics, as in VDM and Larch. JML supports quantifiers, specification-only variables, and other enhancements that make it more expressive for specification than Eiffel and easier to use than VDM and Larch.
