Theorembased
Theorembased is a conceptual framework or methodology that emphasizes the derivation of software or systems from formally proven theorems. The core idea is that by starting with a set of well-defined axioms and logical rules, and then rigorously proving theorems that represent desired properties or functionalities, one can construct software that is inherently correct. This approach aims to eliminate errors by embedding correctness directly into the design and implementation process, rather than relying solely on testing to detect them after the fact.
The principles of theorembased development often involve formal specification languages, automated theorem provers, and proof assistants.
While theorembased development offers the potential for extremely high levels of assurance, especially in safety-critical or
