SPARK
Programming Languages
SPARK is a formally defined subset of the Ada programming language, along with an associated toolset, designed for developing high-integrity software where correctness, safety, and security are critical, such as in aerospace, defense, and medical devices. It allows developers to use mathematical proof techniques to verify the absence of runtime errors and to demonstrate that code meets its specifications, rather than relying solely on testing.
