[EN] In Software Engineering, software contracts allow the program behavior to be specified using formal axioms such as preconditions, postconditions and invariants. The current state of the art makes it possible to derive, from the program code, concise properties that can be then used as an input for program analyzers. However, such automatically derived contracts might not be fully precise and/or correct, leading to what is known as "abstract contracts", which may contain candidate axioms. In this project we propose two methods for the refinement of automatically inferred contracts, which in our case are generated by the automatic inference tool KindSpec 2.0. iii iv The first proposed technique is based on testing by using the ...
