The method comprises specifying software in a design language possessing a formal semantics; simulating the design in accordance with its formal semantics; verifying that the design satisfies predetermined requirements; generating test cases and; generating software code. The method includes the steps of inputting by a graphical editor and a textual editor a formal design of the software, inputting desired properties as formulas in temporal logic, and verifying automatically if the formal design satisfies the desired properties.
