Finding Bugs with Alloy Model Checking Without Running Code
Strange Loop Conference · Talk · YouTube title: "Finding bugs without running or even looking at code" by Jay Parlar
Why it's here
HN commenters point to it as the best practical introduction to Alloy and to lightweight formal modeling.
What it covers
Jay Parlar's Strange Loop talk shows how model checkers such as Alloy can find complex bugs in a system's design without running or reading any code. He walks through modeling architectures and checking every possible sequence of operations, including a real security bug and a UI feature-interaction bug.
