ASD allows the design of a software system to be mathematically verified as complete and correct, even before a single line of code has been written. Defect-free source code is generated automatically, directly from the verified design. In principle, ASD can be used for any kind of software. However, it really excels in mission-critical applications, such as embedded software in medical, machine control and Automotive systems.
