Verifying Object-Oriented Programs with KeY: A Tutorial

Paper in proceeding, 2007

This paper is a tutorial on performing formal specification and semi-automatic verification of Java programs with the formal software development tool KeY. This tutorial aims to fill the gap between elementary introductions using toy examples and state-of-art case studies by going through a self-contained, yet non-trivial, example. It is hoped that this contributes to explain the problems encountered in verification of imperative, object-oriented programs to a readership outside the limited community of active researchers.
