Abstract
The main current trend in applied formal methods can be characterized by the term “lightweight”. Historically, formal methods have been viewed as pure alternatives to traditional development methodologies, demanding a revolutionary change in industry to adopt them. With a pragmatic, lightweight approach, the use of formal methods is complementing and improving existing development practices in a company in an evolutionary way, demonstrating more clearly the cost-effectiveness of formal methods. This paper presents our view on lightweight formal methods as a strategy for successful formal methods technology transfer to industry.
