Software and hardware verification has shown the ability to prove the correctness of many sophisticated algorithms and to discover many subtle errors. But the verification tools are not in every-day use by non-specialists. This paper describes several of the verification methods in a tool, which is in every-day use by programmers. The paper concentrates on theorem proving and related aspects.
