  • Patent number: 11977478
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for static testing a software system that is decomposed into software units connected by interfaces. The method comprises receiving context information for an interface, which includes at least one postcondition for the at least one output variable of a respective first software unit and/or a precondition for the input variable of a respective second software unit; receiving a selection of a third software unit in so that a substitute decomposition appertaining thereto of the software system into the third software unit and a complement of the third software unit is produced, the third software unit and the complement forming the software system and being connected via a substitute interface; selecting, based on the item of context information a postcondition per output variable of the complement; and testing whether the selected postcondition can be forward-propagated by the third software unit with regard to a formal verification.
