SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Quint provides a formal specification language to describe system behavior in plans, enabling precise contracts rather than informal notes.

Core Features & Use Cases

State-machine style transitions with explicit guards and delayed assignments
Invariants and runs to validate behavior across scenarios
Non-deterministic and concurrency-friendly constructs for modeling complex protocols

Quick Start

Describe a Quint module with types, state, actions, invariants, and example runs to model your plan TODO.

FAQPage Schema

How do I translate planning TODOs into formal specifications for state machines?▼

To translate planning TODOs into formal specifications, you define a Quint module with domain types, state variables, actions with guards, and invariants. This approach replaces informal notes with precise contracts for system behavior.

What is the best way to model concurrency conditions and non-deterministic protocols?▼

Modeling concurrency conditions is best done using Quint specifications, which provide non-deterministic and concurrency-friendly constructs. These features allow you to explicitly state transitions and validate complex protocols across multiple scenarios.

How do I validate invariants and system behavior across different scenarios?▼

To validate invariants and system behavior, you define example runs within your Quint specification. These runs execute your defined actions and invariants to check that state machine transitions maintain correct conditions across scenarios.

Can I use formal specifications for architecture planning and requirements engineering?▼

Yes, you can use formal specifications for architecture planning and requirements engineering. Quint specifications translate high-level planning TODOs into explicit state variables and actions, ensuring precise contracts for verification tasks.

Do I need to declare domain types and consts to define a Quint module?▼

Yes, you need to declare domain types, state variables, and consts to define a Quint module. Declaring these elements alongside actions with guards and delayed assignments is required to accurately model your plan TODOs.

What are the limitations of using formal specs for everyday project planning?▼

Using formal specs for everyday project planning requires declaring explicit domain types, state variables, and invariants, which introduces overhead. It is less suited for informal notes but necessary when strict concurrency conditions must be verified.
