A Language for Explaining Counterexamples

Authors: Ezequiel José Veloso Ferreira Moreira and José Creissac Campos

Published in: OASIcs, Volume 120, 13th Symposium on Languages, Applications and Technologies (SLATE 2024)

Abstract

Model checkers can automatically verify a system’s behavior against temporal logic properties. However, analyzing the counterexamples produced in case of failure is still a manual process that requires both technical and domain knowledge. However, this step is crucial to understand the flaws of the system being verified. This paper presents a language created to support the generation of natural language explanations of counterexamples produced by a model checker. The language supports querying the properties and counterexamples to generate the explanations. The paper explains the language components and how they can be used to produce explanations.
