deductive verification

Concept

In the provided evidence, deductive verification is discussed as a formal method exemplified by CompCert, where it can cover the transition from C programs to processor models. The evidence also notes that such verification does not remove the need for certification test sets that check whether the processor model conforms to real hardware.

Overview

The provided evidence discusses deductive verification in the context of high-assurance computer-system certification. It states that the transition from C programs to processor models may be "completely covered by deductive verification methods," giving CompCert as the example. However, the same passage emphasizes that certification bodies may still require test sets to check conformance between the underlying processor model and real hardware.
