Incremental Verification

Verifying a program as a whole is hard. However, programs do not appear out of nowhere --- they are developed in small, incremental steps. Incremental verification techniques exploit this fact. The concepts underpinning incremental verification are differential analysis and incremental solving of sequences of logical formulae.

The following publications show that constructing and solving verification problems incrementally is advantageous with respect to performance:
