Abstract We introduce Go2Pins, a tool that takes a program written in Go and links it with two model-checkers: LTSMin and Spot. Go2Pins is an effort to promote the integration of both formal verification and testing inside industrial-size projects. With this goal in mind, we introduce black-box transitions, an efficient and scalable technique for handling the Go runtime. This approach, inspired by hardware verification techniques, allows easy, automatic and efficient abstractions.

Abstract We introduce Go2Pins, a tool that takes a program written in Go and links it with two model-checkers: LTSMin [19] and Spot [7]. Go2Pins is an effort to promote the integration of both formal verifica- tion and testing inside industrial-size projects. With this goal in mind, we introduce black-box transitions, an efficient and scalable technique for handling the Go runtime. This approach, inspired by hardware ver- ification techniques, allows easy, automatic and efficient abstractions.
