Spec-Harness Measures and Improves Behavioral Adequacy of LLM-Generated Formal Specifications
A new arXiv paper introduces Spec-Harness, a framework for evaluating whether formal specifications written by large language models accurately capture a program's intended behavior. The work tackles the longstanding challenge that automatically producing reliable specifications typically requires specialized domain expertise. Beyond scoring, the harness is also designed to help refine LLM-synthesized specifications and raise their behavioral adequacy.
