Software Verification
Software verification is a systematic process of checking whether a software system meets its specified requirements and design specifications. It involves techniques such as code reviews, static analysis, and formal methods to ensure correctness, reliability, and safety before deployment. The goal is to detect and eliminate defects early in the development lifecycle, reducing the risk of failures in production.
Developers should learn software verification to build high-assurance systems in critical domains like aerospace, medical devices, and financial services, where errors can have severe consequences. It is essential for compliance with safety standards (e.g., ISO 26262, DO-178C) and for improving code quality in large-scale or complex projects by preventing bugs and security vulnerabilities.
