Take a look at the link below about verification in the software world using Assertion-Based Verification techniques. Below is a quote from that article.
| Quote: | | The user first formulates a set of assertions about key data structures in the reference and the development versions. These assertions specify locations at which data structures should be identical: violations of the assertions indicate errors. |

Interesting comparisons to our hardware verification world!

In the software world, this Assertion-Based Verification techniques is considered "revolutionary" !
from [url]
http://developers.slashdot.org/developers/04/05/02/1346209.shtml?tid=156[/url]
"It seems that people are still using print statements to debug programs (Brian Kernighan does!). Besides the ol' traditional debugger, do you know any new debugger that has a REVOLUTIONARY way to help us inspect the data? (don't answer it with ddd, or any other debugger that got fancy data display), what I mean is a new revolutionary way. I have only found one answer. It seems that Relative Debugging is quite neat and cool."
