Formal Verification Of A Shopping Basket Application Model Using PRISM

Abstract

Formal verification is at the heart of model validation and correctness. With model checking, invaluable realizations have been accomplished in software engineering and particularly in software development. By means of this approach, complex applications can be simulated and their performance forecasted in light with requirements at hands and expected performance. In this short paper we present the results of a simulation using Prism Model Checker for a Shopping Basket Application Model. Applied on a modified model from a projected process model, the objective is to simulate the behavior of shoppers as they go through a number of defined states of the shopping process and express accessibility and reachability through a number of defined properties.
