A method for pogram analysis and Its applications to program-correctness problems

J. C. Huang

Abstract

Described in this paper is a program-analysis method that can be used to effectively determine the logical structure of a program, explicate the computation a program will perform, and show the equivalence of programs. Applications to the problem areas in test-case generation, proving program correctness, and translation of “GOTO” programs into “GOTO-less” programs are discussed.
