摘要: For whatever reason, formal methods remain one of the more contentious techniques in industrial software engineering. Despite some improvement uptake methods, it is still case that vast majority potential users fail to become actual users. A paper by Hall 1990 [31] examined a number ‘myths’ concerning assumed be valid. This considers few beliefs held many and presents counter examples.
