A formal specification is a rigorous and consistent way to express software specifications using mathematical tools from set theory and first-order logic. It involves creating abstract models of problems and refining them with practical elements while ensuring consistency, leading to error-free code generation.
In computer science, formal specifications are mathematically based techniques whose purpose is to help with the implementation of systems and software.
