Static analysis of software with deductive methods is a highly dynamic field of research on the
verge of becoming a mainstream technology in software engineering. It consists of a large
portfolio of - mostly fully automated - analyses: formal verification test generation
security analysis visualization and debugging. All of them are realized in the state-of-art
deductive verification framework KeY.This book is the definitive guide to KeY that lets you
explore the full potential of deductive software verification in practice. It contains the
complete theory behind KeY for active researchers who want to understand it in depth or use it
in their own work. But the book also features fully self-contained chapters on the Java
Modeling Language and on Using KeY that require nothing else than familiarity with Java. All
other chapters are accessible for graduate students (M.Sc. level and beyond). The KeY framework
is free and open software downloadable from the book companion website which contains also all
code examples mentioned in this book.
