Abstract

Visual Z (VZ) is a visual programming environment developed for constructing Z specification. This environment allows the user to manipulate icons (called glyphs) to generate a specification. Instead of remembering the set of Z symbols, the user can manipulate the visually understandable icons to develop specification. Moreover, VZ is a well organized environment, where various components of a specification are organized into different folders for easy storage and retrieval. Finally, VZ supports validation of specification and basic logic proving, which are essential in developing correct specification.
