Talk:Formal specification

Merge with formal methods?

Shouldn't this article be merged with formal methods? Also, specification language covers a very similar topic. --Tillmo (talk) 22:03, 7 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

No. Formal Methods is a specific development technology using formal proofs that suffers because computers (and software) do not conform to Peano's 7th axiom. I do agree that this article should be replaced with "Software Design Specification." Where a Software Requirements Specification defines what problem needs to be solved with software, including constraints, a Software Design Specification describes, in detail, how that problem will be solved.

Perhaps. Formal Methods is not a specific development technology using formal proofs (and Peano_axioms is a very odd reference to cite in this context). Do not replace with "Software Design Specification". A formal specification does not have to relate to a software design, but can also describe hardware, for example Santosh N. Varanasi, Kenneth S. Stevens, Graham Birtwistle (2010). "Concurrency Reduction of Untimed Latch Protocols - Theory and Practice".
