Using formal analysis to find requirements gaps in specs
Original: .md File is not a specification: Using formal analysis to find requirements gaps
A new article argues that writing requirements in a Markdown file does not amount to a real specification, and demonstrates how formal analysis can expose hidden gaps and ambiguities before implementation begins. The author walks through applying model-based analysis to requirements, showing that unresolved edge cases and contradictory assumptions surface early when behavior is formally modeled rather than left as prose.
Why now: Developers and engineers are debating whether lightweight documentation is being mistaken for rigorous specification, and formal methods are trending as a remedy.
