Abstract
JML is a behavioral interface specification language tailored to Java. It also allows assertions to be intermixed with Java code, as an aid to verification and debugging. JML is designed to be used by working software engineers, and requires only modest mathematical training. To achieve this goal, JML uses Eiffel-style assertion syntax combined with the model-based approach to specifications typified by VDM and Larch. However, JML supports quantifiers, specification-only variables, frame conditions, and other enhancements that make it more expressive for specification than Eiffel. This paper discusses the goals of JML, the overall approach, and prospects for giving JML a formal semantics through a verification logic. 1 Introduction JML [23], which stands for "Java Modeling Language," is a behavioral interface specification language (BISL) [44] designed to specify Java [2, 9] modules. Java modules are classes and interfaces. A behavioral interface specification describes both ...
