Spin - Formal Verification

Question

Has anyone have contact with model checking with this tool SPIN, even more any information of model checking (concurrent programs)

Answer 1

Yes, SPIN is a very good model checker but I am wondering what you want? Do you just want to hear that yes, I have heard and played with SPIN or do you want suggestions for how to model check source code?

For example, if you're a C programmer, get your hands in ESBMC, write a little program and run ESBMC on it.

That should get you started to understanding what can be done and how to do it. By the way, for starters Model Checking is not static analysis. It is actually much more powerful. It's the anti-static analysis. Model Checking actually 'in a (very narrow) sense' simulates your program and find situations (argument combinations, exceptional situations, border cases) where it would actually fail.
