Abstract
Enterprise software helps modern corporates to automate their businesses in order to run efficiently and economically. We report a story of successful introduction of formal methods to business software development. This deployment came in three phases: modelling, formal verification and model-based testing. For each phase, we describe a few representative deployment cases in detail, and discuss the problems that we encountered and the decisions that we had to make. The work discussed here was carried out to focus on issues of interest to SAP, the world’s leading provider of enterprise software.
