Using formal analysis to find requirements gaps
Original: .md File is not a specification: Using formal analysis to find requirements gaps
A new blog post argues that a markdown file is not a true specification and demonstrates how formal analysis can uncover hidden requirements gaps. The author walks through applying formal methods to requirements documents, showing how modeling system behavior exposes ambiguities and missing edge cases that plain prose leaves undetected. Commenters are weighing in on how often engineering teams mistake informal documentation for rigorous specifications and whether formal analysis should be a standard step in software design.
Why now: Developers are debating the value of formal methods in catching specification defects early in software design.
