What this session would cover
Proposed outline — the mentor finalises the agenda once this topic is scheduled.
- 1Why formal methods & software verification matters — the common problem: Critical logic is trusted on testing alone, missing edge cases no test thought of.
- 2Core concepts in plain language: Program specifications, invariants, preconditions, postconditions, design by contract, static analysis
- 3Going further: symbolic execution, model checking, theorem proving, temporal logic, correctness proofs, safety-property verification
- 4Framework walkthrough: Test Pyramid, SOLID Principles, Acceptance Criteria (Given–When–Then)
- 5Practical workflow, built live: Pre/postconditions and invariants on a critical function plus a static-analysis report.
- 6How to measure it: Defect escape rate, Test reliability (flaky-test rate), Change failure rate, Lead time for changes
- 7An illustrative case (a fictional example, not a client result), then live Q&A on your own situation
Who it's for
- • Students and freshers entering tech
- • Working developers and engineers
- • Tech leads and architects
You'd leave with
- Pre/postconditions and invariants on a critical function plus a static-analysis report.
- A working understanding of Test Pyramid and SOLID Principles
- A short list of measures to track: Defect escape rate, Test reliability (flaky-test rate), Change failure rate
