  B-Toolkit
       
           A set of software tools designed
          to support a rigorous or formal development of software
          systems using the {B-Method}.
       


          The Toolkit also provides a development environment automating
          the management of all associated files, ensuring that the
          entire development, including code and documentation, is
          always in a consistent state.
       
          The Toolkit includes: a specification, design and code
          configuration management system, including integrity and
          dependency management and source file editing facilities; a
          set of software specification and design analysis tools, which
          includes {syntax} checkers, type checkers and a specification
          animator; a set of verification tools, which includes a
          proof-obligation generator and automatic and interactive
          provers; a set of coding tools, which includes a translator,
          linker, rapid prototyping facilities and a reusable
          specification/code module library; a documentation tool for
          automatically producing fully cross-referenced and indexed
          type-set documents from source files; a re-making tool for
          automatically re-checking and re-generating specifications,
          designs, code and documentation after modifications to source
          files.
       
          A normal licence costs 25,000 pounds, academic 6,250 pounds.
