    Abstract

    Perfect Developer is a software tool that supports the formal development of object-oriented programs by refinement, including formal verification of code. It is built around a single language that supports both specification and implementation. We critically examine how Perfect Developer supports programming by refinement, focusing on three refinement techniques: algorithm refinement, data refinement and delta refinement. In particular we examine the extent to which Perfect Developer provides formal verification for these techniques. We assess it as a tool for software construction and compare it with related tools.
