Hardware and Software: Verification and Testing 7th International Haifa Verification Conference, HVC 2011, Haifa, Israel, December 6-8, 2011, Revised Selected Papers

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the 7th International Haifa Verification Conference, HVC 2011, held in Haifa, Israel in December 2011.
The 15 revised full papers presented together with 3 tool papers and 4 posters were carefully reviewed and selected from 43 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections on synthesis, formal verification, software quality, testing and coverage, experience and tools, and posters- student event.
