PV3 Java Pathfinder (aka jpf-core, aka JPF)checks properties of annotated Java code

Application domain/field

Type of tool

Model checker

Expected input

Format:

Expected output

The system can report on 3 different things:
  1. System under test (SUT) output: what is the SUT doing?
  2. JPF logging: what is JPF doing?
  3. JPF reporting system: result of the JPF run
The last option is probably the most interesting for users. This will report any property violations. Per property violation it can show the type of error, a trace leading to the violation, give a snapshot of all threads when the violation occurs, show the program output for the trace and some statistics.
