Explain the circumstances in which the use of formal specification and verification in the creation of safety-critical software systems may prove to be financially beneficial. Do you have any idea why certain critical systems engineers are so opposed to the use of formal methods?
There is a certain level of power associated with every job and line of work. Power also entails some degree of responsibility. What authority do you think a software engineer has as a consequence of his or her job, according to the IEEE Code of Ethics for Software Engineering?
Formal specification and verification may be cost-effective for safety-essential software systems. Do you agree with critical systems engineers' formal approach aversion?
