Specware Documentation
Specware 4.2
- User Manual
- The User Manual serves as a guide to Specware usage.
- Tutorial
- The Tutorial will guide you through the process of specifying, refining and generating code in Specware. A comprehensive example provides step-by-step instructions for this development process (Under Construction).
- Language Manual
- The Language Manual gives a comprehensive treatment of all Specware language constructs.
- Isabelle Interface Manual
- The Specware to Isabelle Interface Manual documents how to use Isabelle/HOL to discharge Specware proof obligations.
- Quick Reference Guide
- The Quick Reference guide is a brief 2-page summary of Specware shell commands and language constructs.
- Specware Transformation Manual
- The Specware Transformation Manual is a brief guide to Specware’s transformation script language and the interaction shell for building transformation scripts (Under Construction).
