Introduction to Formal Verification with SPARK — From Ada Contracts to Mathematical Proof (archived 2026-07-27)
A practical introduction to formal verification using the SPARK subset of Ada. Covers how to step up from contracts (Pre/Post) to proofs, using GNATprove, loop invariants, data-flow contracts, proof levels, and how to apply them to real projects.
