[rules-dev] Formal verification of Drools - master's thesis

[Jiri Svitak]

The thesis would be aimed at verifying Drools Java code. With Findbugs 
you can find bugs in every Java project, but in this case the Findbugs 
would use user defined bug patterns (based on JIRAs/Bugzillas).
Drools verifier is intended to verify correctness of user's DRL using 
static analysis.

Model checking is more difficult to do. It executes code, so I would 
have to create environment for it to run, for example an application 
which uses Drools. Then verify some property of the system.
